You should set the ItemsSource property of the ListView (any particular reason you're not using a ListBox?) to a collection containing domain models which have been populated by the database. If you are using codebehind, then you can use listViewName.ItemsSource = myListOfDomainObjects. If you are using MVVM, then expose a property on your viewmodel, and use a binding expression in the XAML. 

<ListView x:Name="MyList" ItemsSource="{Binding MyViewModelCollectionProperty}"> 
  ...
</ListView>

If your domain model has an e.g. 'Name' string property, then you can use this as the button text in your ItemTemplate by using:

<Button Content="{Binding Name}" />
