XAML binding behaviour on ListView inside ListView data binding

I have a class
Class Test
{
string name {get;set;}
List<string> marks {get; set;}
}
Trying to bind data of ObservableCollection to XAML
<ListView x:Name="list1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Width="790">
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView.View>
<GridView >
<GridViewColumn Header="Name" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource myHeaderTemplate}" HeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource myHeaderStyle}" Width="150">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock x:Name="xyt" Text="{Binding name}" TextAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="14">
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Marks" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource myHeaderTemplate}" HeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource myHeaderStyle}" Width="500">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
**<ListView x:Name="list2" ItemsSource="{Binding marks}">
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock x:Name="marki" Text="{Binding}" TextAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="16" Margin="10" MouseLeftButtonDown="TextBlock_MouseLeftButtonDown">
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView>**
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
But I get error in binding "operation-is-not-valid-while-itemssource-is-in-use-access"
When I remove DataTemplate from list2, it shows properly with data binding, with name and corresponding listview of marks.
<ListView x:Name="list1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Width="790">
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView.View>
<GridView >
<GridViewColumn Header="Name" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource myHeaderTemplate}" HeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource myHeaderStyle}" Width="150">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock x:Name="xyt" Text="{Binding name}" TextAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="14">
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Marks" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource myHeaderTemplate}" HeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource myHeaderStyle}" Width="500">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
**<ListView x:Name="list2" ItemsSource="{Binding marks}">
</ListView>**
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
I am assigning datasource as
list1.ItemsSource = observablecollection<Test>;
I tried adding giving Path, relativesource, but still facing error.
I am confused why putting TextBlock causing error?

you are missing <ListView.ItemTemplate> tag around DataTemplate:
<ListView x:Name="list2" ItemsSource="{Binding marks}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock x:Name="marki" Text="{Binding}" TextAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="16" Margin="10" MouseLeftButtonDown="TextBlock_MouseLeftButtonDown"/>
</DataTemplate>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
markup
<ListView>
<DataTemplate>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView>
is equivalent to
<ListView>
<ListView.Items>
<DataTemplate>
</DataTemplate>
<ListView.Items>
</ListView>
and Items usage conflicts with setting ItemsSource.
<ListView.Items> can be omitted because Items property is chosen as ContentProperty for ListView.

Add text on image dynamically in WPF with C#

I am trying to achieve some thing below in the image.
In the list, I would like to put the text "WS1", "WS2" "WS3" onto the image dynamically in the code depending on the some conditions. I have setup something in xaml. I am not sure if that will work and how to write the code to match the xaml.
<Style x:Key="AnnotationStyle" TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#70FFFFFF" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/>
</Style>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DisplayImage">
<StackPanel Width="50">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Height="40" Source="{Binding ImageData}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Style="{StaticResource AnnotationStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn CellTemplate="{StaticResource checkbox}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Profile ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding ProfileID}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Monitor 1" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding DisplayImage}">
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
How do I implement this in the code and does this xaml work? thank you very much in advance.

How to Style a cell in Gridview under ListView

How to style every cell in Gridview.I want my cell text in a rounded text box with red background.My code is
<ListView Margin="0" ItemsSource="{Binding ParamList}" >
<ListView.View >
<GridView >
<GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderThickness="2" CornerRadius="5" Height="75" MinWidth="60" >
<Border.Background>Gray</Border.Background>
<TextBlock Foreground="WhiteSmoke" Margin="5"
Text="{Binding}" Width="Auto"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate>
<GridViewColumn Header="category1" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=param1}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="category2" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=param1}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

Use the GridViewColumn's CellTemplate property to set a DataTemplate containing a TextBox with the appropriate styling for each of your columns. I don't believe there is a way to set it at the Gridview level so that you don't have to set it on each column individually.
<Grid>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridView.Columns>
<GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Background="Red" Text="{Binding Item1}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Item2}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView.Columns>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
</Grid>

How to center a TextBlock within a CellTemplate in WPF?

I tried both HorizontalAlignment and TextAlignment but it has no effect.
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto" Header="Type">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Type}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Xaml code:
<Window x:Class="EffectsWindow.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Effects Editor"
<DockPanel VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<DockPanel.Resources>
<ListView
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
ItemsSource="{Binding EditorViewModel.AllEffects}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
Header="Name" />
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto" Header="Type">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Type}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
<DockPanel Width="100"
Height="100"
Margin="0,0,20,20"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
<Label Margin="0,0,0,0"
Content="Data"
DockPanel.Dock="Top" />
<ListBox
VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</DockPanel>
</DockPanel>
</Window>

did you try HorizontalContentAlignment? on the column?
-- EDIT --
turns out it's kinda hard to find the right place to put this HorizontalContentAlignment... :)
use this
<ListView.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
</Style>
</ListView.Resources>
in the listview.
Snoop usually helps u to be on the right path. This ContentPresenter is the used by the ListViewItem, and it gets its Alignment from the ContentAlignment on the ListViewItem. u can't access the ListViewItem directly, and that's why u need that Style
and the full code:
<DockPanel VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListView
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
x:Name="MyListView">
<ListView.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
</Style>
</ListView.Resources>
<ListView.View>
<GridView >
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
Header="Name" />
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto" Header="Type">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Type}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
<DockPanel Width="100"
Height="100"
Margin="0,0,20,20"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
<Label Margin="0,0,0,0"
Content="Data"
DockPanel.Dock="Top" />
<ListBox
VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</DockPanel>
</DockPanel>

Unfortunatelly there is no way to adjust the horizontal alignment of TextBlocks within CellTemplate.
Because GridViewRowPresenter sets the HorizontalAlignment property of Cells to HorizontalContentAlignment of its TemplatedParent, which in this case is ListViewItem.
So you are going to have to change your ListViewItemStyle.
If you change the HorizontalContentAlignment of ListViewItem using snoop, you will see that the alignment of cell will not be affected since HorizontalContentAlignment value is set during the creating of the cells.
