BasedOn property not working with ListView

When I use the following code it works because I am using a ListBox

<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListBox}}" TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

But when I use the following code to a ListView I get an warning/exception

<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListView}}" TargetType="{x:Type ListView}">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

"StaticResource reference 'System.Windows.Controls.开发者_如何学PythonListView' was not found."

Why and how to solve it? I want the functionality of a ListView.

Try this one:

<Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListBox}}" TargetType="{x:Type ListView}">

A ListView does not handle presentation, it delegates this to its View property, which is usually a GridView. Try setting the style using the GridView type as key.

I'm having the same problem. my scenario is little complicated: app1 references lib1 and lib2, lib1 defines the listview style, lib2 defines a user control containing a listview and has no idea about the listview style. app1 adds the resource dictionary:

in lib2, I define list view like this:

at design time, I got the error: StaticResource reference 'System.Windows.Controls.ListView' was not found. but at runtime, it works well. I guess this is a bug of VS2008. I tried it on VS2010 which does not have this design time error.
