Windows Phone 8.1 Grid Row Auto Scroll - xaml

I have created Page where there is grid with three rows. In first row I have two button working as Toggle button. This button will visible or collapsed the content of the second and third row.
In second row I have form bigger than screen and in third row there ListView with Sticky and Grouped Style Header
Now the issue is that as the content in second grid row is more I have kept Page level scroll but when I put page level scroll than it will stop sticky header effect in ListView and when I remove page level scroll then ListView sticky header starts working properly but second row which have form bigger than screen will not scroll. So I was looking something that make my second row auto scroll.
Please somebody help to resolve it.

P.S. :- It is Silverlight windows phone 8.1 application

One simple solution would be to put the just Grid in your second row into a ScrollViewer.
It will work but the user experience would be really, having a page with two separate scrollable parts. I would suggest you split to page into two separate pages, one with the Grid from the second row and another with the ListView from the third row.

My aim is to make the Header of the list view sticky which works but I would like to have the scroll viewer of the list view to span across the header area as well. Currently the scroll bar appears below the header.
I would like to get the scroll viewer to the top right, still keeping the header sticky.
Any helps appreciated.
I found an alternate solution for this. Basically keeping the header out of the list view header and move it to a Grid with 2 rows. Header content and the list view will be in the same row and keeping a padding for the list view to keep the list view below the Header. use a ListViewClipBehavior to fix the scrolling issue.

making the XAML list view header sticky with full scroll bar
The problem is you have placed the header out of the ScrollViewer, it could make the header sticky but the scroll bar will not full.
You have many ways to make sticky header, derive from your screenshot. it looks contain only one group. please check Windows Community Toolkit ScrollHeader, and use StickyHeaderBehavior directly.
For example
<ListView Name="listView">
<interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
<behaviors:StickyHeaderBehavior />
</interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
<ListView.Header>
<Grid MinHeight="100" Background="#FF0078D7">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="Sample Text"/>
</Grid>
</ListView.Header>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="x:String">
<Grid MinHeight="25" Margin="10">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.Items>
<x:String>One</x:String>
<x:String>Two</x:String>
<x:String>Three</x:String>
<x:String>Four</x:String>
<x:String>Five</x:String>
<x:String>Six</x:String>
<x:String>Seven</x:String>
<x:String>Eight</x:String>

UWP Listview in Gridview not increasing

I've got a GridView to display some data. Each of the GridView items is a ListView which is increasing during runtime.
I'd like the GridView to increase as well - but it is only showing a scrollbar inside the GridView item.
One further requirement would be that each GridView Item should be aligned on top of the item.
<GridView ItemsSource="{Binding}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Width="1080">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding ListData}" HorizontalAlignment="Center">

<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

Grid.Column="2"

</Grid>

<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,20,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="360" />
</Style>
</GridView.ItemContainerStyle>
</GridView>
the correct answer for this question is (based on the hint of JustinXL)
<GridView ItemsSource="{Binding}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Width="1080">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ListData, Converter={StaticResource DataBindingDebugConverter}}" x:Name="BirthdayListView" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,20,0,0">

Grid not covering all the screen in UWP app

Why my grid is not covering all the screen and how can i fix it? On the designer looks like it should be covering all the width of the screen, but actually leaves a big space on the rigth.
<Grid Background="GreenYellow">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="200"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
</Grid>
This code is only a snip, but even with childs the space its there on different sizes.
Edit 1:
Acoording to Luis C. answer i get the same result big empty space to the left:
I found a strange workaround to achieve what i want:
<Grid Background="Yellow">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="200"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0">
<TextBlock Text="This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
<Button Content="Black" Background="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>
<Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Black" Background="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="Black" Background="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>
The result is:
Still its a very strange way to workaround the problem.

You just need to remove the "RowDefinition" without height and change the "Auto" Rows to "*".
Something like this:
<Grid Background="GreenYellow">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="200"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Content="Black" Background="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
<Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Black" Background="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="Black" Background="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>

XAML Element responsive width on Orientation change

I am building a Windows 8.1 Universal app. On the orientation change for the phone, the outer "Grid" element doesn't change in width when the phone is switched to Landscape mode (and vice versa if the app is originally opened in landscape - doesn't change width when orientation=portrait). The Width is bound to the PivotItem Width and the PivotItem fills the entire screen on orientation change but the Grid does not.

Row of data on grid now showing

I am working on rendering a table with selectable rows. Ultimately the data coming in will be data-bound from a database but right now I'm just trying to get a row to show. Here is what I have:
<Grid Background="WhiteSmoke">
<StackPanel>
<Grid Width="900">

The header's are being rendered but the 1st row which should just have numerical values is not showing:
What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the row of data showing?
As I stated in my comment, you have not added any items to the listbox so the dataTemplate will not show.
For testing you can add items after the ItemTemplate:
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBoxItem>Item 1</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Item 2</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
