Detect when WPF listview scrollbar is at the botto

Question

Is there a way to detect if the scrollbar from the ScrollViewer in a ListView has reached the bottom of the virtual scroll space? I would like to detect this to fetch more items from the server to put into the bound ObservableCollection on the ListView.

Right now I'm doing this:

private void currentTagNotContactsList_scrollChanged(object sender, ScrollChangedEventArgs e) {

    ListView v = (ListView)sender;


    if (e.VerticalOffset + e.ViewportHeight == e.ExtentHeight) {
        Debug.Print("At the bottom of the list!");
    }

}

Is this even correct? I also need to differentiate between the vertical scrollbar causing the event and the horizontal scrollbar causing it (i.e. I don't want to keep generating calls to the server if you scroll horizontally at the bottom of the box).

Thanks.

//A small change in the "Max's" answer to stop the repeatedly call.
//this line to stop the repeatedly call
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False"

private void dtGrid_ScrollChanged(object sender, ScrollChangedEventArgs e)
                {
//this is for vertical check & will avoid the call at the load time (first time)
                    if (e.VerticalChange > 0)
                    {
                        if (e.VerticalOffset + e.ViewportHeight == e.ExtentHeight)
                        {
                            // Do your Stuff
                        }
                    }
                }

I figured it out. It seems I should have been getting events from the ScrollBar (<ListView ScrollBar.Scroll="currentTagNotContactsList_Scroll" in XAML) itself, rather than the viewer. This works, but I just have to figure a way to avoid the event handler being called repeatedly once the scrollbar is down. Maybe a timer would be good:

private void currentTagNotContactsList_Scroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e) {

    ScrollBar sb = e.OriginalSource as ScrollBar;

    if (sb.Orientation == Orientation.Horizontal)
        return;

    if (sb.Value == sb.Maximum) {
        Debug.Print("At the bottom of the list!");

    }

}

For UWP I got it like this

<ScrollViewer Name="scroll" ViewChanged="scroll_ViewChanged">
    <ListView />
</ScrollViewer>

private void scroll_ViewChanged(object sender, ScrollViewerViewChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var scrollViewer = (ScrollViewer)sender;
    if (scrollViewer.VerticalOffset == scrollViewer.ScrollableHeight)
            btnNewUpdates.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
