 ## What Is a ListView?  
 
- The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListView> control is an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl> that is derived from <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBox>. Typically, its items are members of a data collection and are represented as <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListViewItem> objects. A <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListViewItem> is a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl> and can contain only a single child element. However, that child element can be any visual element.

- Use the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.Items%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.ItemsSource%2A> properties to specify items for a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListView> control.
