Answer 1

You need to use DataTemplate and change the text Foreground property, this is one sample for GridViewColumn.

Check on DataTemplate here: Data Templating Overview

<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Header="First Name" Width="1000"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding FirstName}" Foreground="Purple" /> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn>

Answer 2

As per the accepted answer, in order for the TextBlock to remain binded and the Foreground color to change, the following worked for me:

 <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" Width="1000"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Foreground="Purple" /> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn>

and in my case I decided to create a property for the text color and bind to that

<GridViewColumn Header="First Name" Width="1000"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Foreground="{Binding Path=TextColor}" /> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn>

All wrong answers. You simply need to change GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate property.

 <ListView ItemsSource="{...}" Foreground="White" > <ListView.View> <GridView> <GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Foreground="White" Text="{Binding}"/> </DataTemplate> </GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate> <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Header="First Name" Width="1000"/>
