    copied!<p>You best bet is probably to create a <strong>custom control</strong> by inheriting from the <strong>GridView</strong> class, adding the required columns, and exposing a meaningful property to show/hide a particular column. Your custom GridView class could look like this:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace MyProject.CustomControls { public class CustomGridView : GridView { private GridViewColumn _fixedColumn; private GridViewColumn _optionalColumn; public CustomGridView() { this._fixedColumn = new GridViewColumn() { Header = "Fixed Column" }; this._optionalColumn = new GridViewColumn() { Header = "Optional Column" }; this.Columns.Add(_fixedColumn); this.Columns.Add(_optionalColumn); } public bool ShowOptionalColumn { get { return _optionalColumn.Width &gt; 0; } set { // When 'False' hides the entire column // otherwise its width will be set to 'Auto' _optionalColumn.Width = (!value) ? 0 : Double.NaN; } } } } </code></pre> <p>Then you can simply set that property from XAML like in this example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:cc="clr-namespace:MyProject.CustomControls" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt; &lt;ListView&gt; &lt;ListView.View&gt; &lt;cc:CustomGridView ShowOptionalColumn="False" /&gt; &lt;/ListView.View&gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; &lt;ListView&gt; &lt;ListView.View&gt; &lt;cc:CustomGridView ShowOptionalColumn="True" /&gt; &lt;/ListView.View&gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre> <p>Optionally, you could make the '<em>CustomGridView.ShowOptionalColumn</em>' a <strong>DependencyProperty</strong> to be able to use it as a binding target.</p>
