c# - What is the best way to pull data into a web form's ListView? -

i'm new web forms, , build asp.net web application acts client connects wcf service via tcp connection pulls information , adds information listview object in web form. ideally, able store data in list , able sort, filter, add, remove, , delete items list messages come in, , update listview when these events occur.

what best way achieve type of behavior listview, , please show me coded example of how listview can bind list object contains rows of data listview, i'd list object contain 3 strings representing 3 different cells (one per column) in listview create following listview in browser:

    column 1 header | column 2 header | column 3 header     ---------------------------------------------------     cell 1 text     | cell 2 text     | cell 3 text     ---------------------------------------------------     cell 4 text     | cell 5 text     | cell 6 text     ---------------------------------------------------     cell 7 text     | cell 8 text     | cell 9 text 

here's basic idea.

have class represents data want display in listview:

public class somestuff {     public string string1 { get; set; }     public string string2 { get; set; }     public string string3 { get; set; } } 

then generate list of objects (from service, assume):

list<somestuff> allmydatastuffs = new list<somestuff>(); allmydatastuffs = mywcfservice.getmydata(); 

and bind list listview:

mylistview.datasource = allmydatastuffs; mylistview.databind(); 

you can display "string1", "string2", , "string3" in itemtemplate of listview.

<itemtemplate>     <asp:label id="string1lbl" runat="server" text='<%# eval("string1")%>' />     <asp:label id="string2lbl" runat="server" text='<%# eval("string2")%>' />     <asp:label id="string3lbl" runat="server" text='<%# eval("string3")%>' /> </itemtemplate>
