How to Bind ListView to List<MyStruct>

I want to show some data in a List<> in a ListView, but don't know how
to bind this.

my data (.xaml.cs):
-----
public struct MyStruct
{
public MyStruct(String name, int size)
{
Name = name;
Size = size;
}
public String Name;
public int Size;
}

[in OnInitialized]
List<MyStruct> mydata= new List<MyStruct>();
mydata.Add(new MyStruct("Foot", 23));
mydata.Add(new MyStruct("Whatever", 4711));
MyListview.DataContext = mydata;
------

my xaml (.xaml):
------
<ListView x:Name="MyListview" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding
Path=Name}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Size" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding
Path=Size}"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
-----

The ListView displays to empty rows. The header do look good, 's just
the content of the cell is missing, so I'd guess my binding is wrong -
pity is I got no clue how this should look.

Can anyone help?

Sam,

Everything looks great except for one thing: you need to make the public
fields properties instead. Databinding, even in ASP.NET and Windows Forms
(IIRC) does not work against fields, only against properties. So if you just
make your fields private and add property accessors for them, all of your
other code should just work.

HTH,
Drew

Drew,

aaarrg, silly me - I thought to make a working sample as simple as
possible, and therefore tried the short way to use fields.

Properties work like charm, thanks a lot!

Another (related) question:

How do I refresh the ListView when one of my structs has changed?

Sam

Got it!

Just had to add the INotifyPropertyChanged interface to my custom
struct, then it all updated nicely.
