WPF ListView Databind is not tied!

Question

Simple WPF ListView:

<ListView Name="recordContainer" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyCollection}">
   <GridView>
      <GridViewColumn Width="260" Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Name}"/>
      <GridViewColumn Width="100" Header="Value" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Value}"/>
   </GridView>
</ListView>

MyCollection is a property on my page:

public ObservableCollection<MyData> MyCollection
{
  get
  {
     return myCollection;
  }
}

and this is my data object:

public class MyData
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

I populate myCollection in the page constructor (before InitializeComponent), but the list is empty !

I have the same configuration on other pages and it works fine - what am I missing?

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

Set the DataContext of the page to the page itself:

this.DataContext = this;

Answer 2

What Thomas said ... or ...

What you are missing is that the binding is really looking at the DataContext. However, you can set the source differently in several ways.

... MyCollection? - ; . , . DataContext. DataContext , , DataContexts , , .

, , DataContext. , . RelativeSource.

{Binding MyCollection RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Page}}}

, Binding, RelativeSource Type.

RelativeSource . ( ). RelativeSource , . , . , MyCollection.
