need help binding to a WPF listview

Question

You guys are so helpful and I had some trouble binding to a listview and was wondering if someone can help me, here is my code.

here is the xaml

    <ListView Name="ListView" Margin="0,0,16,145" ItemsSource="{Binding EmailCollection}" AllowDrop="True" HorizontalAlignment="right" Width="704" IsEnabled="True" Background="White" Foreground="Black" BorderBrush="#FF313131">

        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>

                <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Pic}"  Width="140" Header="Picture"/>
                <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Person}" Width="140" Header="Person" />
                <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Email}" Width="200" Header="Email" />
                <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Location}" Width="160" Header="Location" />
                <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Age}" Width="50" Header="Age" />
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>

here I am trying to add an item to the person column but it says system.windows.controls.listviewitem does not contain a definition for person maybe I am missing something?

    ListView.Items.Add(new ListViewItem {Person = t.InnerHtml});

Answer 1

If the ListView is bound to an items collection, then you can't add to it directly. Instead, do the following:

1. Make sure EmailCollection is of type ObservableCollection
2. Add the new item directly to the source EmailCollection
