How to Clear values from ListBox without removing List items in WPF

In my situation When I use productsLocLB.items.Clear(). it removes All items instead of removing only values.
ListBox x:Name="productsLocLB" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False" BorderThickness="0" ItemsPanel="{StaticResource ListboxItemPanel}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" Background="{x:Null}" Margin="0,25,0,0" Height="564" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource RackListBoxItemStyle}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<!--User Info Cadview item Tamplate -->
<DataTemplate>
<Border >
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="150" Height="60" VerticalAlignment="Top" Cursor="Hand" MouseLeftButtonDown="Grid_OnMouseDownOrTouchDown" TouchDown="Grid_OnMouseDownOrTouchDown">
<Image x:Name="productLocImg" Width="150" Source="{Binding SPImage}" Stretch="Fill"/>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Label Content="{Binding ProductName}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" FontSize="18" Background="#99000000"/>
<Label Content="{Binding Avalability}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="Black" FontSize="14" Background="#90FFFFFF" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
<!---->
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListItem></ListItem>
<ListItem></ListItem>
<ListItem></ListItem>
</ListBox>

Remove
productsLocLB.items.Clear()
and write instead (assuming your collection which is bound to the ItemsSourceis called MyItems and you want to set ProductName = string.Empty; for each entry in this collection.
foreach(var item in MyItems)
{
ProductName = string.Empty;
}
You have to implement INotifyPropertyChanged as well or the UI won't be notized and the new values won't shown.

Problems Binding with a GridView UWP

I have a Binding page for some bugs and another one for comments in my app. The first one work properly, but the second one don't show anything but the data(21 comments) load successfully.
I've been taking a look to the live Live Property Explorer and the first Grid have those options:
However, the second one have the ItemsSource set as null:
This should not be possible, because those items have the same code just with few changes to make them load different.
Here you have the code:
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Book" x:Key="BookDataTemplate">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image Width="150" Height="150" Source="{x:Bind CoverImage}" />
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="center" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock FontSize="10" Text="{x:Bind DScore}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="#FF21C721" />
<TextBlock FontSize="10" Text="{x:Bind DFav}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="#FF9C9C9C" />
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="16" Text="{x:Bind Title}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" />
<TextBlock FontSize="10" Text="{x:Bind Author}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="#FF9C9C9C" />
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind DData}"/>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<GridView ItemsSource="{x:Bind Books}" AllowDrop="True" IsSwipeEnabled="True" IsItemClickEnabled="True" ItemClick="Content_ItemClick" Name="Content" Margin="0,100,0,40" CanReorderItems="True"
CanDragItems="True"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource BookDataTemplate}" ReorderMode="Enabled"/>
And the Comments gridview:
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Comment" x:Key="CommentDataTemplate">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Margin="50, 0, 0, 30" Fill="#FF144772" Height="100" Stroke="Black" Width="500" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
<Rectangle Margin="60, 0, 0, 45" Fill="#FF031131" Height="60" Stroke="Black" Width="60" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<Rectangle Margin="140, 0, 0, 25" Fill="#FF103F91" Height="60" Stroke="Black" Width="360" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<Image x:Name="image" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="50" Margin="65,18,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="50" Source="Assets/profile.png"/>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="center" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Margin="0, 70, 400, 0" FontSize="10" Text="{x:Bind Date}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="#FF9C9C9C" />
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Margin="130, 0, 0, 0" FontSize="16" Text="{x:Bind Author}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="White" />
<TextBlock Margin="150, 30, 0, 0" FontSize="11" Text="{x:Bind Body}" Width="360" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="#FF9C9C9C" />
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Score}"/>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<GridView ItemsSource="{x:Bind Comments}" AllowDrop="True" IsSwipeEnabled="True" IsItemClickEnabled="True" Name="Content" Margin="0,100,0,40" CanReorderItems="True"
CanDragItems="True"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CommentDataTemplate}" ReorderMode="Enabled"/>
Can somebody help me identify the problem here please?

In the XAML file of your 2nd page go to "Comments" in ItemsSource and press F12. If you could navigate to definition of Comments means your binding is successful but Comments is not getting populated. If you could not navigate to definition means binding is not working. In that case check if datacontext has been set for that page. Also check how "Comments" is spelled in XAML and in the property.

WPF GridView: Determining held item

I'm trying to highlight the selected item in a bridview from a windows application.
To be more precise:
<GridView
x:Name="itemGridView"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="ItemsGridView"
AutomationProperties.Name="Items"
TabIndex="1"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
Padding="116,136,116,46"
SelectionMode="None"
IsSwipeEnabled="false"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="openRessource"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource itemsViewSource}}">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="200" Height="250" Holding="openHoldMenu">
<Border Background="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Image Source="{Binding icon}" Stretch="None"/>
</Border>
<Image Source="{Binding downloaded}" Width="30" Height="30" Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="{ThemeResource ListViewItemOverlayBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemOverlayForegroundThemeBrush}" Style="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}" Height="60" Margin="15,0,15,0" FontWeight="SemiBold"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding description, Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemOverlaySecondaryForegroundThemeBrush}" Style="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="15,0,15,10" FontSize="12"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
This is my XAML, fairly simple, I just have a Holding event which brings up a menu in my page.
My problem is that I want to know which item has been held to create a border around it so that the user knows which item is selected.
I can easily access the bound item in my list but can't get the grid element selected.
If anyone know how to, that would be really appreciated.
Thank you!

Should be able to make a trigger such as this:

How to get a control in a listbox on code behind windows phone?

I have a listbox in my windows phone application. In the listbox DataTemplate I placed a button. How can I get the button object in codebehind. I am not getting the reference of the rowButton in the .cs file. I want to change the button background color of button of each row. how can I get the button reference in the code behind ?
I following code I used for listview.
<Grid Height="530" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,30,0,0">
<ListBox Margin="0,0,0,0" Name="TransactionList">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Width="460" Height="150" Click="user_click" Name="rowButton" >
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="auto" Width="400">
<Image Width="80" Height="80" Source="{Binding Type}"></Image>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="150" Margin="20,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Name :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Name}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Date :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Date}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Amount :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Amount}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text=" $" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>

If you want to change background on user click, in the click event handler use
Button button1 = sender as Button;
button1.Backgorund = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
to change the background color.
Else bind the background property for each button and change its value on iteration of the items in the listbox.

Without seeing how you've tried to access this is in code it's impossible to say why what you're doing isn't working.
However it'll be much easier if you use databinding to set the color of the templateitem

Text Wrapping issue in silverlight for Windows Phone

I have a twitter feed in a list box in a app I'm making for Windows Phone 7. The problem I'm having is that the text of a tweet is being cut off the edge of the list box instead of wrapping around to a new line like this:
The list box is inside a panorama which works fine. This is my code:
<ListBox x:Name="cheapyListBox" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="400" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="132" Tap="Message_OnTap">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Height="73" Width="73" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,8,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="Auto">
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" FontSize="28" Margin="12,0,0,0" /> -->
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="20" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
How can I get the tweet text to wrap round instead of being cut off? Thank you.

Since your inner StackPanel is nested within a horizontal Stackpanel, it has no constraint of depth, and so the TextBlocks expand infinitely as the text becomes longer.
There are a variety of ways you can fix the issue, but an easy one (if you know the width that you want) is to set the inner StackPanel's width to a finite number.
For example:
<ListBox x:Name="cheapyListBox" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="400" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="132" Tap="Message_OnTap">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Height="73" Width="73" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,8,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="400">
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" FontSize="28" Margin="12,0,0,0" /> -->
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="20" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Hope this helps!
