Creating Custom Formatters for WPF ListView

In the previous post I showed how you can create and bind a ListView using LINQ. Now, if you want to format a value in one of the columns, one way to go around this is using StringFormat. Here is a very good blog entry explaining this.

StringFormat however allows for mostly basic formatting. What if you want to do something more complicated?

As an example, and since I am from Cyprus, I wanted to format an Amount column to display as currency but with the Euro symbol.

WPF ListView and LINQ

After dealing with traditional WinForms DataGridViews, when you are trying to display information, I find that ListView in WPF is much more easy to code.
