I have a columned listview who's items I would like to store in an XML file.

best way is to use MVVM :), that way your View simply represents the data in the UI. Actual DomainModel/BusinessObject resides outside your View.

And then you can use number of persistance methods:

  • XML Serialization

  • ORM (Object Relation Mapping), which will persist/save the BusinessObject into Database and back

Step by step way:

  • Create/Define your BusinessObject(DomainModel, i.e. Person class)

  • Use DataTemplate to Bind to Collection from your ListView

  • In your ViewModel, you can than say PersonCollection.Save/Load etc
