Updating UWP binding programmatically

I've got an issue where if an item is selected in a list I want it to update my items in my grid. The binding is done by:
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1">
<ItemsControl x:Name="RightGridItemsControl" ItemsSource="{Binding News}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource RightGridTemplate}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
When an item, e.g. Planet is selected, I want to update the ItemsSource binding to a new list. This is specified in my DataModel.
How can I update this programmatically? I've tried something like this, but it requires a DependencyObject and can't find out what it means. This also looks like WPF rather than UWP.
`var myBinding = new Binding
{
Source = Planets,
Mode = BindingMode.OneWay,
UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged
};
BindingOperations.SetBinding(new , ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, myBinding);`
What should I put as the first item for the contstructor for 'SetBinding'?

You can set the Binding like this:
BindingOperations.SetBinding(
RightGridItemsControl, ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, myBinding);
or like this:
RightGridItemsControl.SetBinding(ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, myBinding);
Note also that currently there is no property path present in your Binding. If there is a News property as in your XAML, the Binding should probably look like shown below, without Mode = BindingMode.OneWay, which is the default, and without UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged, which has no effect in a one-way binding.
var myBinding = new Binding
{
Source = Planets,
Path = new PropertyPath("News")
};

Set binding code behind for the DataTemplate does not work in WPF

I have to bind dynamic the Text property for the TextBlock in the WPF application in the runtime.
Here is the code:
In xaml file
<DataTemplate x:Key="Double_View_Template">
<TextBlock
x:Name="txtDoubleViewTemplate"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
/>
</DataTemplate>
In C#
DataTemplate data = FindResource("Double_View_Template") as DataTemplate;
TextBlock ui = data.LoadContent() as TextBlock;
Binding binding = new Binding();
binding.Path = new PropertyPath("Mass");
BindingOperations.SetBinding(ui, TextBlock.TextProperty, binding);
DataGridTemplateColumn column = new DataGridTemplateColumn();
column.CellTemplate = data;
instrumentDataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
When run the application I see only blank lines, and the values are not shown in the Datagrid. The ItemsSource and the DataContext is correctly set.
If I set
Text="{Binding Path=Mass}"
in the xaml the data is displayed.
Any idea why in the runtime the binding is not set?

How Do I bind a Color to a SolidColorBrush in code behind

Can you bind a SolidColorBrush to a color in code behind? I want to be able to do this:
Binding binding = new Binding("FontColor");
binding.Source = this;
SolidColorBrush brush = new SolidColorBrush();
brush.SetBinding(SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty, binding);
I know the brush is not a BindingExpressionBase, so it does not have a SetBinding() method. But you can set a binding in xaml. How do you do it in code behind?

Try using System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations.SetBinding:
BindingOperations.SetBinding(brush, SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty, binding);

Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);

WPF : Create CheckBox programmatically

How can I create this from code ?
<CheckBox Command="{Binding Source={StaticResource VMLocator}, Path=TimeTableInformationViewModel.MyCommand }"
CommandParameter="{Binding valueFromInput}" />
I am not sure how to set Command property from behind code :
public static DataTemplate CreateDataTemplate()
{
var block = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(CheckBox));
block.SetBinding(CheckBox.CommandProperty, new Binding(""));
DataTemplate newDataTemplate = new DataTemplate() { VisualTree = block };
}

Try this:
TypeOfYourObject vmLocator = (TypeOfYourObject)Resources["VMLocator"];
CheckBox checkBox = new CheckBox();
checkBox.Command = vmLocator.TimeTableInformationViewModel.MyCommand;
checkBox.CommandParameter = vmLocator.valueFromInput;
UPDATE >>>
There are a number of ways of doing this, but I have included a simple example that includes setting up a Binding... for more than this, please refer to the How do I build a DataTemplate in c# code? post to find out how to create a larger DataTemplate in code.
FrameworkElementFactory checkbox = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(CheckBox));
checkBox.Name = "aCheckBox";
checkBox.SetBinding(TextBlock.IsCheckedProperty, new Binding("YourBoolProperty"));
DataTemplate dataTemplate = new DataTemplate() { VisualTree = checkbox };

Create bindings of ListView items programmatically

I have the following wpf control added to xaml:
<ListView Margin="22,80,271,12" Name="listView1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" />
I know how to create a ListView object programmatically. The only thing that I am missing is how could I add the property
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
with code to that object. I have already managed to add the columns and gridview with c#. The only thing that I am missing is to add that property ItemsSource="{Binding}"
I have tried looking for an answer here.

Shortest should be this (literal translation of XAML):
listView1.SetBinding(ListView.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding());

listView1.ItemsSource = listView1.DataContext as IEnumerable;

Is this what you are looking for?
Binding myBinding = new Binding();
myBinding.ElementName = "item-you-are-binding-to";
myBinding.Path = new System.Windows.PropertyPath("property-you-are-binding-to");
listView1.SetBinding(ContentProperty, myBinding);

All you need to do is this:
var binding = new Binding("DataContext");
binding.Source = listView1;
listView1.SetBinding(ListView.ItemsSourceProperty, binding);
