-xaml-values

headerString

headerStringA text string that serves as header content.

headerObject

headerObjectAn single object element that serves as header content. Use discretion when using objects as header content; not all objects are suitable for use within the limited presentation surface that appears for headers.

## -property-value The content of the list header. The default value is **null**.

-remarks

By default, the header is shown at the top for a ListView, and on the left for a GridView. If the FlowDirection property is set to RightToLeft, the header is shown on the right for a GridView.

You can use a data template for the Header by setting the HeaderTemplate property.

-examples

Here's a GridView header that contains a StackPanel with text and an image. This Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) is a simplified version of the GridView used in GroupDetail page of the Microsoft Visual Studio Grid App template.
