Display text if there are no items in the list of linked lists

The following is the syntax of my list bound to a class ....

<ListView ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource listViewStyle}" Name="transactionListView" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding}" MouseDoubleClick="transactionListView_MouseDoubleClick" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" >
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView ColumnHeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource gridViewHeaderColumnStyle}">
            <GridView.Columns>
                <GridViewColumn Width="70" Header="Serial" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Serial}" />
                <GridViewColumn Width="100" Header="Date" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Date, StringFormat={}{0:dd-MM-yyyy}}" />
                <GridViewColumn Width="200" Header="Seller" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Seller}" />
                <GridViewColumn Width="200" Header="Buyer" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Buyer}" />
                <GridViewColumn Width="70" Header="Bales" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Bales}" />
            </GridView.Columns>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

* How can I display text when the list is empty or contains no items?

The trick is to override the ListView template. When there are no items in the ListView, you must set the ControlTemplate using a TextBlock:

<ListView Name="List" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
    <ListView.Style>
        <Style TargetType="ListView">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="HasItems"
                         Value="False">
                    <Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListView">
                                <TextBlock Text="No items..."/>
                            </ControlTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ListView.Style>
</ListView>

ListView itself does not provide this feature. The easiest approach is to place a TextBlock in front of the ListView with the Visibility value set for Collapsed. You can then make it visible if there are no items in the list.
