Add a Control to Your Project

For the purpose of this example we will add RadListView Control.

Populating RadListView with data

First thing you need to do is to create a data and view model classes:

Example 1: Populating RadListView with data in C#.

• C#

        public class SourceItem
        {
            public SourceItem(string name)
            {
                this.Name = name;
            }
            public string Name { get; set; }
        }
        public class ViewModel
        {   
            public ViewModel()
            {
                this.Source = new List<SourceItem> { new SourceItem("Tom"), new SourceItem("Anna"), new SourceItem("Peter"), new SourceItem("Teodor"), new SourceItem("Lorenzo"), new SourceItem("Andrea"), new SourceItem("Martin") };
            }
            public List<SourceItem> Source { get; set; }
        }

Update the setup of the ListView you created in Figure 6 to be like:

Example 2: Update the setup of the ListView in XAML.

• XAML

    <telerikDataControls:RadListView x:Name="listView" ItemsSource="{Binding Source}">
        <telerikDataControls:RadListView.BindingContext>
            <local:ViewModel />
        </telerikDataControls:RadListView.BindingContext>
        <telerikDataControls:RadListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <telerikListView:ListViewTemplateCell>
                    <telerikListView:ListViewTemplateCell.View>
                        <Grid>
                            <Label Margin="10" Text="{Binding Name}" />
                        </Grid>
                    </telerikListView:ListViewTemplateCell.View>
                </telerikListView:ListViewTemplateCell>
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerikDataControls:RadListView.ItemTemplate>
    </telerikDataControls:RadListView>

The results should be:
