In WPF, can you bind a ListView (NOT DataGrid) to a Matrix (Cross-Tab) DataSet?

Answer 1

You can generate the GridViewColumns for the ListView programatically and apply the binding to that. Loop through the columns in the DataSet and add a corresponding GridViewColumn into the ListView.

var gridView = (GridView)list.View;
foreach(var col in table.Columns) {
   gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn{
      Header=col.ColumnName, 
      DisplayMemberBinding=new Binding(col.ColumnName)});
}

Answer 2

You can add columns dynamically to a ListView by using Attached Properties. Check out this article on the CodeProject it explains exactly that...
