# ListView Overview

The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.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 <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListView> control provides the infrastructure to display a set of data items in multiple layouts or views. For example, a user may want to display data items in a table and also to sort its columns.

## 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.

You can create a custom view mode by defining a class that inherits from the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ViewBase> class. The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ViewBase> class provides the infrastructure that you need to create a custom view. For more information about how to create a custom view, see [Create a Custom View Mode for a ListView](how-to-create-a-custom-view-mode-for-a-listview.md).

## Binding Data to a ListView

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. The following example sets the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.ItemsSource%2A> property to a data collection that is called `EmployeeInfoDataSource`.

You can also specify a <xref:System.Windows.Data.Binding> as part of a <xref:System.Windows.DataTemplate> definition that you use to style the cells in a column. In the following example, the <xref:System.Windows.DataTemplate> that is identified with a <xref:System.Windows.ResourceKey> sets the <xref:System.Windows.Data.Binding> for a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn>. Note that this example does not define the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn.DisplayMemberBinding%2A> because doing so overrides the binding that is specified by <xref:System.Windows.DataTemplate>.

If you define an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle%2A> for a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListView> control and also define an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.ItemTemplate%2A>, you must include a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentPresenter> in the style in order for the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl.ItemTemplate%2A> to work correctly.

Do not use the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Control.HorizontalContentAlignment%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Control.VerticalContentAlignment%2A> properties for <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListView> content that is displayed by using a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GridView>.

## Creating a Custom View Mode

Customized views like <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GridView> are derived from the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ViewBase> abstract class, which provides the tools to display data items that are represented as <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListViewItem> objects.
