ListView In WPF With Alternating Row Colors

Here's how to alternate the row colors for a WPF ListView control using a Converter class and Triggers.
Converter Class:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

public class AddressTargetConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { return (value.ToString().Equals(parameter.ToString())); } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } }

XAML:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

<Window.Resources> <y:AddressTargetConverter x:Key="AddressTargetConverter" /> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <StackPanel> <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding PersonCollection}"> <ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="ListViewItem"> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Address, Converter={StaticResource AddressTargetConverter}, ConverterParameter = Guam}" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"></Setter> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <ListView.View> <GridView> <GridViewColumn Width="140" Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" /> <GridViewColumn Width="200" Header="Address" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Address}" /> <GridViewColumn Width="160" Header="Contact" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Contact}" /> </GridView> </ListView.View> </ListView> </StackPanel> </Grid>

Namespace declaration in XAML:

1	xmlns:y="clr-namespace:ListViewApp"

where ListViewApp is the project namespace.
