        {
            List<MyData> myDataList = new List<MyData>();
            myDataList.Add(new MyData() { ID = 1, Name = "yusuf karatoprak", Author = "Mike Gold", Price = "6.7 TL", Catalog = "IT" });
            myDataList.Add(new MyData() { ID = 2, Name = "yusuf karatoprak", Author = "Scott Gunitella", Price = "9.7 TL", Catalog = "IT" });

Answer 1

As far as I can see you are assigning the list of items directly as your data context therefore your path should just be:

ItemsSource="{Binding}"

There is no property “MyData” on the list class, this is the datatype which does not need to be specified in the binding as the WPF framework will use reflection to search for all of the properties on MyData
