Any similar "ListView" UI Control in Xamarin.Mac?

Question

I'm planning to design an multiple file downloader app (similar to IDM or Transmission) for macOS based on Aria2 JSON-RPC and C# GUI via Xamarin.Mac. But there is a major issue for UI design. I need a UI control which is similar to "ListView" in XAML.

Basically it's something like in this topic discussed, i.e. I need something equivalent in Xamarin.Mac with this XAML code below:

<ListView x:Name="DownloadItemList">
    <ListView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding DownloadItemTitle}" 
                           Margin="20,0,20,8"
                           FontSize="24" 
                           FontStyle="Italic" 
                           FontWeight="SemiBold"
                           Foreground="DarkBlue" />
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding DownloadProgressInfo}" 
                           Margin="20,0,20,8"
                           FontSize="16"
                           Foreground="DarkGray" 
                           Opacity="0.8" />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

I also need some data bindings in the UI code if possible. But so far I can't find any similar stuff in Xamarin.Mac. Is there any possible solution like this? Thanks in advance!

You can use NSTableView

static Content : You can design cells from storyboard, and if required can modify content of these cells at runtime.

Dynamic Content : You can crate template cell at design time (or progrmmatically id requried ), give it identifier and use that cell multiple-time in tableviewd atasource.

UITableView is iOS only. NSTableVIew is for Cocoa (the question has both tags). – Chris Hamons Mar 16 '17 at 13:54
@ChrisHamons Thanks for correction.Have corrected it now. – PlusInfosys Mar 16 '17 at 14:07
It should work though it seems very complex for me. Thanks mate anyway. – Jackson Ming Hu Mar 17 '17 at 00:21

I wouldn't suggest table view. I'd only recommended this for presenting static data. – mindOfAi Mar 16 '17 at 02:55
If you want to use tableview here's a sample in C# - https://github.com/xamarin/mac-samples/tree/master/NSOutlineViewAndTableView – Chris Hamons Mar 16 '17 at 13:55
