The ListView control provides the infrastructure to display a set of data items in different layouts or views. For example, a user may want to display data items in a table and also to sort its columns.The ListView control is an ItemsControl that is derived from ListBox. Typically, its items are members of a data collection and are represented as ListViewItem objects. A ListViewItem is a ContentControl and can contain only a single child element. However, that child element can be any visual element. To specify a view mode for the content of a ListView control, you set the View property. One view mode that Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides is GridView, which displays a collection of data items in a table that has customizable columns.
