How can you set the DataTemplate dynamically of a ListView's column

I am trying to set the DataTemplate of my ListView.GridView's CellTemplate dynamically at runtime. The problem is when I do this, nothing happens. I checked the CellTemplate and it's not null but its VisualTree property is null. Any suggestions?

GridViewColumn gvc = new GridViewColumn
    {
        Header = col.Label ?? col.Name,
        DisplayMemberBinding = binding                        
    };

DataTemplate cellTemplate = FindDataTemplate(listView, col.CellTemplate);
if (cellTemplate != null)
    gvc.CellTemplate = cellTemplate;

gridView.Columns.Add(gvc);

If you are using DisplayMemberBinding, then your CellTemplate would not work.

I am working on a sample right now and I will update here once I get it.

Update : posted a small article on whats happening with source code as well.
