ListView with Styled ListViewItems Sample

This sample shows how to provide a custom style for a row of data in a ListView control. The value of a data field determines the style that is selected. Because each row in a ListView is a ListViewItem control, the ControlTemplate definitions that define custom styles apply to the ListViewItem control.

This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:
