What's the quickest/easiest way to get example data into ListView/GridView in WPF?

Question

I'm doing some quick design work/rapid prototyping with WPF. I'm curious if anyone has a good strategy for getting example data into a ListView/GridView (or really any ItemsControl for that matter). The example data would either be made up on the fly, or pasted in from somewhere (e.g., an Excel file).

One option is the XMLDataProvider..

This way you can type the data directly into the XAML.

See this question for an example.
