ObservableCollection doesn't update listView

Question

I want to update a listview in UserControl included in MainWindow when adding/removing/Editing an entry over opening a Window.
When clicking the save button (in code behind the method "SaveUsers" is called from the class "UserTask"), nothing happens.
Can anyone please help me to see, what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards

XAML MainWindow

namespace WPF_App
{
    /// 
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// 
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void User_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            UserControl1 oUser = new UserControl1();
            Grid.SetColumn(oUser, 1);
            MainGrid.Children.Add(oUser);
        }
    }
}

XAML UserControl

    public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
    {
        UserTask userDC = new UserTask();
        public UserControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.DataContext = userDC;
        }

        private void Add_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Window1 oAdd = new Window1();
            oAdd.DataContext = this;
            oAdd.Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow;
            oAdd.ShowDialog();

        }
    }
}

XAML Window1

        private void Save_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            UserTask oUserTask = new UserTask();
            oUserTask.SaveUsers();
        }

UserContent Class

using System;

namespace WPF_App.Classes
{
    public class UserContent
    {
        static int number = 1;
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Firstname { get; set; }
        public string Lastname { get; set; }
        public UserContent Copy() => new UserContent() { Id = number++, Firstname = this.Firstname, Lastname = this.Lastname };
    }
}

UserTask Class

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace WPF_App.Classes
{
    class UserTask : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        public void SaveUsers()
        {
            this.ListOfUser.Add(NewUser.Copy());
            RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(SaveUsers));
        }


        public UserContent NewUser { get; set; } = new UserContent();

        public ObservableCollection ListOfUser { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection();

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        private void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName) =>
            PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }
}

Answer

Hi Imilio,
use this CodeBehind and DataGrid instead if ListView and it works fine:

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace Wpf_App
{
  public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
  {
    public UserControl1() => InitializeComponent();
    private void Add_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) => (new Window1() { DataContext = this.DataContext, Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow }).ShowDialog();
  }
}

-------------------------------------

using System.Windows;
using Wpf_App.Classes;

namespace Wpf_App
{
  public partial class Window1 : Window
  {
    public Window1() => InitializeComponent();
    private void Save_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) => ((UserTask)DataContext).SaveUsers();
    private void Close_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) => Close();
  }
}
