How to autosize and right-align GridViewColumn data in WPF?

How can I:

• right-align the text in the ID column
• make each of the columns auto size according to the text length of the cell with the longest visible data?

Here is the code:

<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" Width="40"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="100" />
            <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

partial answer:

Thanks Kjetil, the GridViewColumn.CellTemplate works well and the Auto Width works of course but when the ObservativeCollection "Collection" is updated with longer-than-column-width data, the column sizes do not update themselves so that is only a solution for the initial display of data:

<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="Auto">
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" TextAlignment="Right" Width="40"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto" />
            <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

To make each of the columns autosize you can set Width="Auto" on the GridViewColumn.

To right-align the text in the ID column you can create a cell template using a TextBlock and set the TextAlignment. Then set the ListViewItem.HorizontalContentAlignment (using a style with a setter on the ListViewItem) to make the cell template fill the entire GridViewCell.

Maybe there is a simpler solution, but this should work.

Note: the solution requires both HorizontalContentAlignment=Stretch in Window.Resources and TextAlignment=Right in the CellTemplate.

            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
