Let’s assume you’ve a ListView to show all the folders. And on click of a button, you want to show list of folders in DocumentsLibrary. For this, use following XAML:

<Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="216,172,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="Button_Click_1"/>
    <ListView x:Name="FolderList" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="216,328,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="830">
        <ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding DisplayName}"></TextBlock>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListView.ItemTemplate>
    </ListView>

Now, in code behind write following code:

private async void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var folders = await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary.GetFoldersAsync();
        var data = folders.ToList<Windows.Storage.StorageFolder>();
        FolderList.ItemsSource = data;

    }

This will show you all the folders within the DocumentsLibrary in ListView.
Hope, it helps.
