WPF ListView - how to add items programmatically?

Question

Even if I know it's not ideal - I need to programmatically populate a listView (for whatever reason).

I am declaring my columns in the markup:

            <ListView.View>                 <GridView>                     <GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Name}"/>                     <GridViewColumn Header="Value" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Value}"/>                 </GridView>             </ListView.View> 

I am adding the items like this in code (it's obviously in a loop):

            MyData data = getDataItem(index); //< -- whatever             ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();             item.DataContext = data;             this.myListView.Items.Add(item); 

Where MyData is defined as:

public class MyData {     public string Name { get; set; }     public string Value { get; set; } } 

The items are being added (I can see the rows) but I don't see any content.

Anyone any clue?

Any help appreciated!

It works changing the code to:

        MyData data = getDataItem(index); //< -- whatever         this.myListView.Items.Add(data); 

Now it looks obvious but ... go figure!
