Finding the easiest way to display rows of data in WPF

I have used WPF very little so I'm looking for the simplest most straightforward way to accomplish this task.

Basically I have a Dictionary where the key is some identifier, and the value is a description. I wish to display a grid/listview of the descriptions with the intention of adding/removing rows by their non-displayed identifier.

How can this be accomplished quickly and easily?

Sample code binding to a dictionary list. To display the value replace Key with Value. Dictionary is not an observable collection so the UI will not dynamically pick up inserts and deletes.

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=GabeLib.DLFTSwordReverse, Mode=OneWay}" DisplayMemberPath="Key" 
                                      VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing="True" VirtualizingStackPanel.VirtualizationMode="Recycling" ScrollViewer.IsDeferredScrollingEnabled="True"  
                                      ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"/>

If you set Mode=TwoWay I think you could even update the Value.

You can't do that. To add the new row you need to set it. But in case of hidden Key column you won't accomplish this. In case you need just updating look here
