How to add Checkboxes to Listview from Code behind using C# in WPF

Question

I am populating a listview from code behind, why I am doing this scenario is, I need to create columns dynamically from code behind(one column,two,three....). My code looks like below

XAML Code :

<ListView  ItemsSource="{Binding}" Name="lvLOv" Width="400"></ListView>

C# Code:

Output:

enter image description here

But I need to place checkboxes before every row like as below(I need to do this in code behind like above code/ integrate the checkbox code in the above code). I need to place checkall option also in the header

public TestForm() { this.InitializeComponent(); Test(); }

public void Test()
{
    try
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        //Create Columns
        dt.Columns.Add("Initial", typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));

        //Adding Rows
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add("K" + i, "David" + i);
        }

        GridView gv = new GridView();


        // Create the GridView Columns
        foreach (DataColumn item in dt.Columns)
        {
            GridViewColumn gvc = new GridViewColumn();
            gvc.DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding(item.ColumnName);
            gvc.Header = item.ColumnName;
            gvc.Width = Double.NaN;
            gv.Columns.Add(gvc);
        }

        lvLOv.View = gv;

        //Binding to Listview
        lvLOv.DataContext = dt.DefaultView;

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }

}

Expected Output:

enter image description here

Can you please let me know how can I achieve this functionality

This is not how to write WPF. When using WPF, we do not programmatically add UI elements. Instead, we use data binding and manipulate data elements. See the Data Binding Overview page on MSDN for more information. — Sheridan

You have to assign ListView.ItemTemplate. It may not be easy in code behind (click, click). — Sinatr

Delete all that horrible code and use proper DataBinding and Data Templating. — Fede

Thanks for your suggestions, I know but I am getting different data(with different column count). I know the columns at run time then how can I bind those columns to listview — Surya

Its really easy just do this..

In Design view (Xaml):

<Window.Resources> 
   <DataTemplate x:Key="Chk_Field" DataType="{x:Type GridViewColumn}">
      <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding chk}" />
   </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>

In Code behind:

GridView gridview = new GridView();
Window window = Application.Current.MainWindow;
DataTemplate s = (DataTemplate)window.FindResource("Chk_Field");
gridview.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn { Header = "Head", CellTemplate = s });

By doing this you can change the celltemplate for each column in code behind..
