I have a listbox which I can successfully update with the data but now I want to access two specific textblocks which I want to collapse and make the other visible. here is my xaml:
<ListBox Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="myPM_MListBox" Margin="-5,0,-5,0" SelectionChanged="myPMListBox_SelectionChanged">

</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I want to hide PM_MLimitedBody textblock and show the PM_MFullBody textblock for the ShowFullBody_Tap event handler I have. But seems like I can't access the Visibility properties of these textblok in my .cs file. is there a way for me to access these textblock's visibility property in my .cs file?
You can use the sender of ShowFullBody_Tap will be the TextBox that defines that event. You can then use VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(...) to get the Border and then the Grid and then look at Grid.Children to find the other borders with their textboxes.

I developed a wpf-app with C# in Visual Studio 2017.
When deploying the software on the target devices (55" NEC Touchscreens, Resolution 1920x1080) the buttons I designed will disappear when the app launches, while the rest of the MainWindow stays in place. I set in <Window> tag Height="1080" Width="1920". When testing the software on my 1920x1080 screen on my desktop (22") the buttons were in place.
<Button Style="{StaticResource FlatButtonStyle}" Click="QuickGuide_Click" Name="QuickGuide" Background="#253135" Margin="375,531,1362,375">
<TextBlock Text="Quick Guide" TextAlignment="Center" Foreground="AntiqueWhite" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="xyz" FontSize="12" Margin="0,59,0,58"/>
</Button>
I have four Buttons, all with just different positions.

This is just to give you the idea:
I removed all Margin properties, in order to not use an absolute position, but relative positions if you want to achieve a dynamic layout.
I put your left part of the layout into a grid with three rows where the first two are for your headers text, and the last one for the buttons.
In the last row I put another grid with two rows and two columns where each cell contains a buttons
This part of markup corresponds to the next grid after your: <Grid Margin="12">:
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left">

<RowDefinition Height="*" />

It looks like this (I'm not allowed to insert image): https://i.stack.imgur.com/Afvn6.png
I want that StackPanel in last column to be on the right side, no matter how long is name. I assume this will be the case if TextBlock stretches to all available width, but it doesn't. How do I fix this?
Add this to you ListView
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />

I made a list , and my need is to be able to make click ( touch ) the user across the row , when clicked I should be able to pass the 'mid' to event , I hid in the code to pick it up then at the click of that record.
It's possible ?

A possible solution is to wrap your content in an invisible button and passing the id or the entire object as CommandParameter to a Command on the ViewModel.
<Button Command="{Binding DataContext.MyCommmand, ElementName=mainGrid}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}">
<!-- Content -->
</Button>
Typically if I want to handle a Click event of anything I just use a Button and overwrite the .Template of it.
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Template="{StaticResource ContentOnlyTemplate}"
CommandParameter="{Binding mid}"
Click/Command=...>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">
...
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
WPF controls are meant to be "lookless", so a Button control is ideal in this case because it contains the functionality to handle Click and/or Command/CommandParameter.
I have an issue im struggling a day now. Im trying to center some controls into a Grid layout. I have 2 columns and i want half of the controls centered ad the 1st column and other half to the second column
When the window resize some of them get "eaten" on the edges , and i wasent able to identify the issue
Can anyone spot the issue?

The simplest way is to use grids inside grid. The outer grid will split the window into two columns. The inner grids will split the columns into four cells (2x2). Just center the inner grids and it will work like a charm.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="LeftColumn" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Content="Bed Occupancy" />
<ComboBox x:Name="optBedOccupancyLeft" Grid.Column="1" />
<Label Content="Menu" Grid.Row="1"/>
<ComboBox x:Name="optMenuLeft" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" />
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="RightColumn" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center>
<!-- the same as left column -->
</Grid>
</Grid>
Btw, notice, that when you want split some are to equal columns (or rows or both), you can use UniformGrid:
<UniformGrid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Rows="1">
<Grid x:Name="LeftColumn" />
<Grid x:Name="RightColumn" />
</UniformGrid>
There is also more advanced approach that I often use:
Use UniformGrid to define columns. The xaml is smaller and cleaner.
Use HeaderedContentControl to define labels and inputs
Use Grid's SharedSizeScope feature, to make width of label equal: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.grid.issharedsizescope%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
<UniformGrid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Rows="1">
<StackPanel x:Name="LeftColumn" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<HeaderedContentControl Header="Bed Occupancy" Style="{StaticResource LabelValueContentControl}">
<ComboBox x:Name="optBedOccupancyLeft" />
</HeaderedContentControl>
<HeaderedContentControl Header="Menu" Style="{StaticResource LabelValueContentControl}" >
<ComboBox x:Name="optMenuLeft" />
</HeaderedContentControl>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel x:Name="RightColumn" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<!-- the same as left column -->
</StackPanel>
</UniformGrid>
The LabelCalueControlStyle is take advantage of shared column size
<Style x:Key="LabelValueContentControl" TargetType="HeaderedContentControl">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="5" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="HeaderedContentControl">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="LabelValueContentControl.Label" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter ContentSource="Header"

I have following DataTemplate for usage within my phone.LongListSelector in my XAML view:

<Image Grid.Column="3" Width="100" Height="100" Source="{Binding PreviewImg4}"/>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Now I want the complete DataTemplate Content made "clickable". Means: If user clicks on a TextBlock or one of the four Images or on whatever displayed in die List, an action should be performed with a databound property (saying the Name from the bound data should be given).
Any ideas how to get this working?
Why don't you just stick your entire template into a button? You can style the button if needs be to remove any default appearance you don't like. eg.
<Style x:Key="BlankButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ButtonBase">
<ContentPresenter />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Style>
