<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding UsageProfilesList}" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" x:Name="usageProfileLists" >
                   <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <Border Margin="0,10,0,10" PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="Start" PreviewMouseMove="Drag" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                                   MouseLeftButtonDown="AddItemToTimeline" Tag="{Binding}" Background="Transparent">
                               <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="18" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
                           </Border>
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </ListView.ItemTemplate>
               </ListView>

the binding of the list is not working, but i am showing a message box showing the list details and the list is getting filled.
what do i have wrong? I've spent hours trying to debug it but everything is working. the binding just seem to be ignored.
please help
