    <p>How can I:</p> <ul> <li>right-align the text in the ID column</li> <li>make each of the columns auto size according to the text length of the cell with the longest visible data? </li> </ul> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}"&gt; &lt;ListView.View&gt; &lt;GridView&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" Width="40"/&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="100" /&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}"/&gt; &lt;/GridView&gt; &lt;/ListView.View&gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; </code></pre> <h2>partial answer:</h2> <p>Thanks Kjetil, the GridViewColumn.CellTemplate works well and the Auto Width works of course but when the ObservativeCollection "Collection" is updated with longer-than-column-width data, the column sizes do not update themselves so that is only a solution for the initial display of data:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}"&gt; &lt;ListView.View&gt; &lt;GridView&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="Auto"&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn.CellTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" TextAlignment="Right" Width="40"/&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/GridViewColumn.CellTemplate&gt; &lt;/GridViewColumn&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto" /&gt; &lt;GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto"/&gt; &lt;/GridView&gt; &lt;/ListView.View&gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; </code></pre>

    2. CO@Oskar - virtualization of the list prevents an auto-solution. The list only knows of items currently visible and sets the size accordingly. If there are more items further down the list, it does not know of them and hence can't account for them. The ProgrammingWPF - Sells-Griffith book recommends manual column widths if you are using data binding. :(

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
