Listview won't show results

[samv12]

Hello guys, I am trying to bind a dataset to the list view. I have included a gridview inside it in order to do that. I try to setup the column headers and the displaymemberbindings at runtime. I get no errors but no data is showing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

  Dim x As New GridViewColumnCollection

                        Dim int As Integer

                        For int = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1 Step 1
                            Dim y As New GridViewColumn
                            y.Header = ds.Tables(0).Columns(int).ColumnName
                            y.DisplayMemberBinding = New Binding(ds.Tables(0).Columns(int).ColumnName)
                            x.Add(y)
                        Next

                        GridView.SetColumnCollection(Gridview1, x)
                        results.View = Gridview1

                        results.DataContext = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView

Any reason why you are doing that at runtime? I find it easier to just use the DisplayMemberBinding attribute in XAML and then you dont need to do any loops like that in code.

As for why its not working, have you had a look at the "Immediate Window" in Visual Studio when your app is running because that often tells you why a binding has failed (failed bindings are designed not to throw exceptions)

Time out...

Listview or GridView? They are NOT the same thing...

oh didn't know that man will look into it. The thing is the listview is supposed to be dynamic, so the columns will vary depending upon the situation, so hard coding it in the xaml is not an option for me. Hope am making sense.

Your right man. am a newbie to xaml but this is my code:

<ListView Margin="6,326,76,0" Name="results" Visibility="Hidden" Height="113" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="232" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Table}" >
            <ListView.Background>
                <LinearGradientBrush>
                    <GradientStop Color="Gray" Offset="0"/>
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </ListView.Background>
            <ListView.View>
                <GridView x:Name="Gridview1">    
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
        </ListView>

So its basically a gridview inside a listview in order to have columns, as i think the listview only has item properties.

Not in winforms no, but a ListView in WPF can house a GridView element inside it's View property to make it look like a datagrid (just as the OP has shown in his example XAML in the post above this one)
