ListView item not displayed correctly-CodePudding

I have an ObservableCollection as the ItemsSource for a ListView. Adding items works fine and the ListView updates, but in the ListView all I can see is this:

What am i missing?

public class MenuItem
{
    public string Item { get; set; }
    public string Price { get; set; }
}
    
// ...

public ObservableCollection<MenuItem> MenuItemList = new ObservableCollection<MenuItem>();

// ...

MenuItemList.Add(new MenuItem {Item = MenuData[6].InnerText, Price = PriceData[6].InnerText});

// ...

listViewFood.ItemsSource = MenuItemList;

CodePudding user response：

You created a custom type MenuItem. The ListView has no way of knowing how to display items of this type, that is why it displays the result of ToString, which is the type name here. You have to define the appearance of an item yourself using a DataTemplate as ItemTemplate, e.g.:

<ListView x:Name="listViewFood">
   <ListView.ItemTemplate>
      <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
         <StackPanel>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Item}"/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}"/>
         </StackPanel>
      </DataTemplate>
   </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
