C# WPF create checkboxes for each item in listview

Question

I have been searching for this on SO, but I have not found something that is doing exactly what I want. The below attached screenshot is what I want to create, this is done in VBA, but I am trying to create it in C# using WPF. I am importing CSV files with the following structure: "ID","NAME",CheckedINT
e.g.
"1662","BØRSTER",1 <-- 1 = checked, 0 = unchecked.

So when I import a file, it is displaying the information in the listview. However, I cannot manage to create that checkbox for each item/record. I have tried to create it in the XAML file.
If you need some of the code behind, e.g. to load the data into the listview, let me know. I am fairly new to C#, so a thorough explanation would be very much appreciated (using VS15).

XAML:

.CS

    public MainWindow()
    {
        // Leave this to show the UI
        InitializeComponent();

        lblProgress.Content = "";

        lvStores.ItemsSource = ReadCSV(@"C:\Users\Niclas VMWare\Downloads\TEST FILE.pcf");

        //SetButtonState();

        string sFile;
    }

    public class Store
    {
        public string sName { get; set; }
        public string sImportFile { get; set; }
        public string sID { get; set; }
        public bool IsChecked { get; set; }

        public Store(string id, string strName, string isChecked, string strImportFile)
        {
            sName = strName.Replace("\"","");
            sImportFile = strImportFile;
            sID = id.Replace("\"","");

            int iBool = Convert.ToInt32(isChecked);

            switch (iBool)
            {
                case 0: IsChecked = false; break;
                case 1: IsChecked = true; break;
                default: throw new InvalidOperationException("Third value in PCF file must be 0 or 1!");
            }
        }
    }

    public IEnumerable ReadCSV(string fileName)
    {
        // Check file extension
        string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(Path.ChangeExtension(fileName, ".pcf"), Encoding.GetEncoding(65001));

        // lines.Select allows to project each line as a Store. 
        // This will give IEnumerable back.
        return lines.Select(line =>
        {
            string[] data = line.Split(',');
            // Return store data with the data in order.
            return new Store(data[0], data[1], data[2], fileName);
        });
    }

Modify your listview's first column definition to be

I believe it will address your problem. Databinding may get affected and you'll need more XAML/code to handle that.

What I have done here is take the default definition of a GridViewColumn data template and replaced it with my own. You can read more about it in the Data templating topic.
