What control I use to repeat List<string> in WPF

I have a news model which has Title and Excerpt properties and need to display them like this image.
ObservableCollection<NewsModel>(getNews())
my question is what control should I use to accomplish this view?

You could use ListView to accomplish your task, Something like this,
<ListView Name="listView1" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<WrapPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}" MinWidth="80" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Description}" MinWidth="80" />
</WrapPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>

How to change value of control inside pivot datatemplate on listpicker_selectedIndexChagned event

<phone:Pivot Title="Bank" x:Name="pivotBank"
ItemsSource="{Binding PivotItems}">
<phone:Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding StrBankName}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
<phone:Pivot.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<StackPanel>
<toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="listPickerAccountNumber" SelectionChanged="listPickerAccountNumber_SelectionChanged"
ItemsSource="{Binding listAccountDetails}" >
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding StrAccountNumber}" />
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding StrAccountNumber}" />
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
<TextBlock Text="Account Detail"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Name="textBlockAccountNumber" Text="{Binding StrAccountNumber}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Name="textBlockBalance" Text="{Binding DblBalance}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:Pivot.ItemTemplate>
</phone:Pivot>
Above pivot control contains headers as bank names and pivot datatemplate contains list of accounts. I want to change the control values of textBlockAccountNumber and textBlockBalance on SelectedIndexChanged event of listPicker.
My question is, is there any way to find control by name from the pivot. I used INotifyPropertyChanged Interface and implemented event with handler but not able to get the rid of it.

DependencyProperty Binding Does Not Update To Collection CurrentItem

I am trying to bind a dependency property to a collection's current selection and for reasons I can't seem to grasp, the binding does not update when the collection changes.
In the example below, I show two example. One is updating correctly (on the textblock/run), and the other only displays the initial element and doesn't change when the data grid selection changes.
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource Source="{Binding Path=List}" x:Key="myViewModel"/>
<my:UpdateNotWorking MyObjModel="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}, Path=CurrentItem}" x:Key="updateNotWorking" />
</Grid.Resources>
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}}" Name="mylistbox"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF50CEFF" FontSize="24" TextAlignment="Center" Height="75">
<Run Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}, Path=text}" Foreground="#FF00E200" />
</TextBlock>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource updateNotWorking}, Path=MyObjModel.text}" Height="22"/>
</Grid>
My dependency property in this example is "MyObjModel" on the "UpdateNotWorking" dependency object which is instantiated from the xaml code.
I would appreciate any information as to why my property is not updating correctly.
Example Project

Paste this XAML into your MainWindow.
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource Source="{Binding Path=List}" x:Key="myViewModel" />
<my:UpdateNotWorking x:Key="updateNotWorking" />
</Grid.Resources>
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}}" Name="mylistbox"
SelectedItem="{Binding Source={StaticResource updateNotWorking}, Path=MyObjModel, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF50CEFF" FontSize="24" TextAlignment="Center"
Height="75">
<Run Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource myViewModel}, Path=text}" Foreground="#FF00E200" />
</TextBlock>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource updateNotWorking}, Path=MyObjModel.text, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Height="22" />
</Grid>
What it is now doing is setting updateNotWorking's MyObjModel property based on the DataGrid's SelectedValue, with UpdatePropertyTrigger set to PropertyChanged to see the changes immediately. No longer do we need to define updateNotWorking's property through the List's CurrentItem because it is not going to change just by selecting it with a DataGrid. You can keep it set, but it is not required as we are doing all the manual labor with the DataGrid SelectedValue.

Show only allowed data in WPF Listbox Databinding

I currently have a list box:
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=bookingDomainDataSource}"
Margin="158,134,0,45"
x:Name="bookingListBox"
Width="429"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay, ElementName=bookingComboBox}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=userId}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=bookingName}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=bookingDate}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=showId}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=paymentId}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ticketId}"
Width="100" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ticketQuantity}"
Width="100" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
And I would like to only show rows from the itemssource that have a certain userId, how can I do this?
Thanks.

I think the best solution to this would be to filter the data source BEFORE you get to the front end.

You want to define a filter for your listview.
Uodate: sorry missed the silverlight tag. However CollectionViewSource should still be useful to you. Here a sample using the CollectionViewSource in Silverlight.

databinding tooltip in listbox

I am working with binding an xml structure to a listbox. I am quite confused hoe to do this.How to put a datatemplate inside a datatemplate or i need to use a hirarchialdatatemplate...for example from the xml, I want to display the Make Name of the cars in a list box and i want to show the corresponding Suvs's as a tooltip or contextmenu.How to do this..please help..any input will be highly helpfull..my xml file structure is as given below
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="src">
<x:XData>
<Automobiles>
<Id>24</Id>
<Category>Cars</Category>
<MakeName>Audi</MakeName>
<Suvs>
<SuvId>Item1</SuvId>
<SuvId>Item1</SuvId>
<SuvId>Item1</SuvId>
<SuvId>Item1</SuvId>
</Suvs>
<IsPanel>1</IsPanel>
<IsFav>1</IsFav>
</Automobiles>
</x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>

I modified your XML format to support multiple Automobile groups:
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="src">
<x:XData>
<Automobiles xmlns="">
<Automobile>
<Id>24</Id>
<Category>Cars</Category>
<MakeName>Audi</MakeName>
<Suvs>
<SuvId>audiItem1</SuvId>
<SuvId>audiItem2</SuvId>
<SuvId>audiItem3</SuvId>
<SuvId>audiItem4</SuvId>
</Suvs>
<IsPanel>1</IsPanel>
<IsFav>1</IsFav>
</Automobile>
<Automobile>
<Id>24</Id>
<Category>Cars</Category>
<MakeName>BMW</MakeName>
<Suvs>
<SuvId>bmwItem1</SuvId>
<SuvId>bmwItem2</SuvId>
<SuvId>bmwItem3</SuvId>
<SuvId>bmwItem4</SuvId>
</Suvs>
<IsPanel>1</IsPanel>
<IsFav>1</IsFav>
</Automobile>
</Automobiles>
</x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>
I hooked up both a context menu and a tooltip.
Below is how I wired up the bindings:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource src}, XPath=/Automobiles/Automobile}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackPanel.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Suvs}">
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="SUV ID: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=SuvId}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
</ContextMenu>
</StackPanel.ContextMenu>
<StackPanel.ToolTip>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Suvs/SuvId}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="SUV ID: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding InnerText, StringFormat={}}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel.ToolTip>
<TextBlock Text="Make: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=MakeName}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
