无法将ObservableCollection绑定到DataTemplate

Question

I'm trying to build a simple app to display the results of an API call. I can't seem to figure out how to bind my results to my data template.

The behavior i am looking for in this TestApp is that when the button is pushed the listview displays the name, party, and state of each Representative.

namespace TestApp
{        
    public class Reps
    {
        public Rep[] results { get; set; }
    }

    public class Rep
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string party { get; set; }
        public string state { get; set; }
        public string district { get; set; }
        public string phone { get; set; }
        public string office { get; set; }
        public string link { get; set; }

        public Rep() { }

        public Rep(string name, string party, string state)
        {
            this.name = name;
            this.party = party;
            this.state = state;
        }
    }      
}

namespace TestApp
{    
    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        public ObservableCollection<Rep> Representative = new ObservableCollection<Rep>();

        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();            
        }

        protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            listView1.DataContext = Representative;
        }

        private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {            
            var uri = new Uri("http://whoismyrepresentative.com/getall_mems.php?zip=31023&output=json");
            var request = WebRequest.CreateHttp(uri);
            request.Method = "GET";
            request.Accept = "application/json";
            var response = await request.GetResponseAsync();
            var stream = response.GetResponseStream();

            var deserializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Reps));

            Reps rps = (Reps)deserializer.ReadObject(stream);

            for (int i = 0; i < rps.results.Length; i++)
            {             
                Rep newRep = new Rep { name = rps.results[i].name.ToString(), 
                                       party = rps.results[i].party.ToString(), 
                                       state = rps.results[i].state.ToString() };
                Representative.Add(newRep);

                Debug.WriteLine(rps.results[i].name.ToString());
            }                      
        }
    }
}

                                       FontSize="20"
                                       Foreground="White"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
                </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            </ListView>
        </Grid>

Answer 1

Setting the DataContext of the ListView only sets the context object for bindings, but it is not a binding on its own. Thus, just replace the line

listView1.DataContext = Representative;

with

listView1.ItemsSource = Representative;
