Programmatically selecting items in a WPF ListView

Question

How can I set the selected items in a WPF ListView programmatically?

Basically, I have a List<SomeEntity> and a ListView that is bound to another List<SomeEntity>. I need to mark the items that exist on the first list as selected.

Answer 1

var lv = yourListView;
lv.SelectedItems.Clear();
foreach(var item in selection)
     lv.SelectedItems.Add(item);
