How to create drop down list in windows phone

I am developing windows phone app. I want to create drop down list for names of states in India.
How to create drop down list in windows phone ?

ListPicker control in the Windows Phone Toolkit, which provides many additional controls and pieces of functionality for Windows Phone development. It's not native to Visual Studio, but it's easy to install and use in apps. For a detailed tutorial on how to install it, I recommend you read this post
The ListPicker control has two modes of display: expansion mode and full-screen mode. By default, if there are five or fewer items in the ListPicker, the data will display in expansion mode, which most resembles a dropdown. If there are more than five items, the data will display in its own screen.
The XAML for adding a ListPicker is quite simple. If you want to hard-code your values in the ListPicker (and you have fewer than six items), your code will look something like this:
This works great if your options aren't likely to change. However, if you need to programmatically add values to the ListPicker, you'll add this code to your MainPage.xaml.cs file:
Alternatively, if the ListPicker values will be populated from a datasource, you have this option:
In all of these examples, since the number of items is fewer than six, the ListPicker will expand in place:

Windows Store app - Grid app with different items

I have to do a Windows Store application in XAML and C#, and the "Grid app" template is almost exactly what I need...
The problem is that this template displays same items, divided in groups.
For my app, I would like to do exactly the same thing but for different type of items instead and have a different details page for each type of item...
This is my first app and I don't manage to do it... How can I do it easily ?
The new "Hub" control of Windows 8.1 would be really perfect, But I can't work with Visual studio 2013 and Windows 8.1... :

Listbox that can 'snap'

I'm making a Windows Phone application that needs a listbox that can "snap" to positions as it scrolls (just like the one in the Media Hub that shows current/future songs).
I've spent awhile looking all over google and can't find anything. Is there a native control that does it, or a third party library that contains it.
There are no built in controls that do this.
The SlideView from the Telerik RadControls can do this.
It's $99 or free if you sign up for the Nokia Premium Developer Program rather than sign up with the App Hub directly.

Is it possible to make the Windows 8 Metro App listbox behave just like the Windows Phone listbox version?

I'm using a ListBox to display some items in my Windows 8 App.
I would like to pan it down just in like I do it in the Windows Phone version: click anywhere and drag up or down. Also, it would be nice to see the scroll only when the items are in movement (again, like the windows phone version).
How can I achieve that?

You need to use the symbian lists API. Specifically you need the MultiSelection list box.
