You need to provide DisplayMemberPath to listView otherwise it will simply call ToString() on your object and will show class name which it is showing right now.

You can specify it either in code behind or in XAML -

lstNews.DisplayMemberPath = "name";

OR

<ListView DisplayMemberPath="{Binding name}"/>

But in case you want to show both Id and name in your listView, you need to provide template to your listView -

     <ListView>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}"/>
                <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding name}"/>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>

could you try to override ToString method of your delNewsletter class. to something like that:

public override string ToString()
{
   return string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "Name: {0}, Id: {1}", Name, Id);
}
