Research direction

Start by locating the hc:Empty attached property implementation and the empty-state control or template it drives; the issue provides no file or test path. Trace how ShowEmpty is rendered, then verify that the XAML example accepts Description and Logo and that both values appear in the empty state.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

It would be great to enhance the hc:Empty attached property by adding support for Description and Logo.

Right now, when showing an empty state, we often need a short description and sometimes an icon or logo to make the UI clearer and more user-friendly. Supporting these directly in hc:Empty would make empty state design more flexible and easier to use.

Is this something that could be considered?

Describe the solution you'd like
<ListView hc:Empty.ShowEmpty="True"
          hc:Empty.Description="Custom Description"
          hc:Empty.Logo="Custom Logo" />
