.net 3.5 - How can I create a group footer in a WPF ListView ( GridView )

Question

I have a ListView that displays sales orders, and groups them by status. In WinForms I had a footer at the bottom of each group that displayed the Total sale price for each group, and I would like to do the same in WPF.

I have figured out how to group the orders, but I can't figure out how to create a footer.

This is my current group style:

<ListView.GroupStyle>
            <GroupStyle HidesIfEmpty="True">
                <GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <!--CollectionViewGroup.Name will be assigned the value of Status for that group.-->
                        <!--http://stackoverflow.com/questions/639809/how-do-i-group-items-in-a-wpf-listview-->
                        <Grid>
                            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontWeight="Bold"  Foreground="Black"/>
                            <Line Grid.Column="1" Stroke="Black" X2="500" Fill="Black" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                        </Grid>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
            </GroupStyle>
        </ListView.GroupStyle>

If your looking for something like this:

_{(source: bendewey.com)}

Then you can use the Template property of the ContainerStyle for the GroupStyle. In this example I use a DockPanel, with the Grid you supplied Docked on the bottom and an ItemsPresenter filling the remainder. In addition in order to get the Items totaled you'd have to use a Converter, which is supplied at the bottom.
