ListView's height in DockPanel is scaling with items and doesn't stop at the window borders - no scrollbar appears

Question

I'm new to WPF. My workmate created a ListView and its height scales with the number of items, even beyond the border of the window, so that the scrollbar doesn't ever appear and the items below are not accessible.

How can I bind the view's height to the window, that the a scrollbar appears?

I tried so set VerticalContentAligment = !stretch, but that does not work.

The code so far:

Answer 1

The DockPanels are redundant, because the layout could be applied by the top-level Grid:

<Grid Loaded="Grid_Loaded">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition/>
        <ColumnDefinition/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Margin="5" Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Label>Von</Label>
        <DatePicker .../>
    </StackPanel>

    <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Margin="5" Orientation="Horizontal"
                HorizontalAlignment="Right">
        <Label>Bis</Label>
        <DatePicker .../>
    </StackPanel>

    <ListView x:Name="ListView" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" ...>
        ...
    </ListView>
</Grid>

Besides that, you must not use a StackPanel as parent of your control when you want to restrict its dimensions. A StackPanel allows its child elements unlimited size in the direction of its Orientation, i.e. unlimited height if it is vertical.
