With ListView deprecated in .NET 10, CollectionView is the control for displaying lists of data. It is more flexible and more efficient, because it recycles cells while scrolling.

A list with an item template

<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Products}"
                SelectionMode="Single"
                SelectionChangedCommand="{Binding OpenCommand}"
                SelectionChangedCommandParameter="{Binding SelectedItem, Source={RelativeSource Self}}">
    <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:DataType="models:Product">
            <Grid Padding="12" ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto">
                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" FontAttributes="Bold" />
                <Label Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Price, StringFormat='{0:C}'}" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
    <CollectionView.EmptyView>
        <Label Text="No products found" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
    </CollectionView.EmptyView>
</CollectionView>

Grid instead of list

<CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
    <GridItemsLayout Orientation="Vertical" Span="2" HorizontalItemSpacing="8" VerticalItemSpacing="8" />
</CollectionView.ItemsLayout>

Incremental loading

For long lists, load data in pages as the user approaches the end:

<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Products}"
                RemainingItemsThreshold="5"
                RemainingItemsThresholdReachedCommand="{Binding LoadMoreCommand}" />

Performance tips

• Use ObservableCollection and add items instead of replacing the whole collection.
• Keep cell templates simple: few nested layout levels.
• Set x:DataType in DataTemplates for compiled bindings.
• Resize images on the server: loading huge photos into a list is the quickest way to slow it down.
