        <ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <Grid Grid.Column="1" x:Name="helperField"/>
</Grid>

Problem

I am using `ListView` control instead of `DataGrid` in my WPF application. I want to give `*` width to my `ListView.GridViewColumn`, but whenever I am providing `*` width to `ListView.GridViewColumn`, it gives me a compile time error. Kindly suggest me how can I provide `*` width to `ListView.GridViewColumn`, so that `ListView.GridViewColumn` can automatically fill extra space when I maximize screen. Any help on this will highly appreciated. Thanks
