WPF Listview Access to SelectedItem and subitems

I have a listview in my xaml and I want to get the selected item in the code-behind. In fact I would like to get the content of the item (which is an object). I've tried to do MyListView.SelectedItems[0] but it doesn't work, I have "accessor get or set expected".

I guess you should use SelectedItem not SelectedItems:

This property is meant to be used when SelectionMode does not equal Single. If the selection mode is Single the correct property to use is SelectedItem.

You can try with this code

var selectedItems = MyListView.SelectedItems;
foreach (ListViewItem selectedItem in selectedItems)
{
   //Treatment
}

How are you using it? It should be MyListView.SelectedItems[0].

MyObject foo = (MyObject)MyListView.SelectedItems[0];

You should probably add some checks if SelectedItems contains actual items and the SelectedItem object is indeed a MyObject, but you get the idea.

Also if you select a single item there is SelectedItem, I think.
