ListView DataBinding in UserControl

Hi,

I have two question with ListView DataBinding,

Note: This is WPF User Control

1.Using the code below, I am unable to display data on the WPF form. Why this method not displying data??

<ListView Grid.Row="6" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" x:Name="lvProducts" SelectionMode="Single" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="ProductID" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
            <ListView.View>
                <GridView>
                    <GridViewColumn Header="Product ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path =ProductID}"></GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn Header="Product Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path =ProductName}"></GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn Header="Product Description" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path =ProductDescription}"></GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn Header="Product Price" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path =ProductPrice}"></GridViewColumn>
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
        </ListView>

2. Using code I am able display data on WPF form, but the Title are repating.., how to not repeate Titles ??

        <ListView Name="lvProducts" Grid.Row="6" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Black" Height="Auto">

            <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid>
                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                                <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                                <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                                <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">ID</Label>
                            <Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">Name</Label>
                            <Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2">Price</Label>
                            <Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3">Description</Label>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=ProductID}"></TextBlock>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Path=ProductName}"></TextBlock>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Path=ProductPrice}"></TextBlock>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Text="{Binding Path=ProductDescription}"></TextBlock>
                        </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
        </ListView>

for both the ways I am using code behind below..

        private void UserControl1_Loaded(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            ProductsDataContext db = new ProductsDataContext();

            var query = from prod in db.Products
                        select new
                        {
                            prod.ProductName,
                            prod.ProductID,
                            prod.ProductPrice,
                            prod.ProductDescription
                        };

            this.lvProducts.ItemsSource = query;
        }

Note: This is WPF User Control

I think if you remove the "DisplayMemberPath="ProductID"" from the first version, your data should display correctly.

In the second version, you've put the titles in the item template, so every item gets title labels.

Hi VenKat,

I performed a test with the first version of your code, the data can display correctly. Please check out if the linq to sql query returns the correct data on your side.
