I know that this question is what many of you already posted, but I'm still having a problem. The idea is very simple: I have a DataGrid and when I select the item in DataGrid, it should select item in ComboBox which is in DataForm. I have read many posts, and implemented few ideas in what I did, and now, I have this:
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4" Name="stackPanel1" Margin="0,0,0,-257">

So, I use MVVM with RIA. For data grid I use MVVM, and for ComboBox data context I use RIA. That is the only way to fill the ComboBox and to bind DataGrid value with ComboBox value, but in the wrong way! When I click Edit in data form, I always get ComboBox initialized to the first item. Of course, value in data grid get the same value (wrong!).
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
P.S. I forgot to mention that I have two tables, PhysicalQuantity and Unit, where PhysicalQuantity has one or zero Units (BaseUnit).

You're using the wrong ComboBox.
Kyle McClellan has a far more capable ComboBox, which honestly should have been rolled out with the toolkit 2 times over by now, but there seems to be something going fishy with toolkit support as well. Please read more about it here:

I found this question + answer to my problem here on stackoverflow, but for me its not totally clear where to change the
ListViewItemPresenter
I tried many things, but it seems like I cant find it on my own :(
Here is my XAML code for this frame:
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemListDataTemplate" x:DataType="data:Item">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Image Name="image" Source="{x:Bind CoverImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="150" />
<StackPanel Margin="20,20,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="16" Name="NameTextBlock"/>
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Description}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="10" Name="DescriptionTextBlock"/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Price}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="26" Name="PriceTextBlock"/>
<TextBlock Text="€" FontSize="26" Name="Currency" Margin="5,0,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<ListView ItemsSource="{x:Bind Items}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
ItemClick="ListView_ItemClick"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemListDataTemplate}"
>
</ListView>
</Grid>
Can someone help me our please? Thank you very much for your time!
There are two ways to edit ListViewItemPresenter in your Page:
You can copy the XAML Template from here (the first XAML codes block below Default Style). Add it to your Page.Resources. ListViewItemPresenter lies among those XAML codes, you can edit its Properties and this style will be applied to all the items of this page's ListView. Notes: don't add x:Key to this style.
Add a ListViewItem Control to your Page like below:
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<ListViewItem></ListViewItem>
</Grid>
Document Outline->Select ListViewItem->Edit Template->Edit a Copy:
Remove the x:Key Property of generated Style Resource, so that this style will be applied to all ListViewItem. Then you can edit the ListViewItemPresenter in the generated XAML Resource.
Just add your DataTemplate inside of the Listview.
Put it in the ItemTemplate property.
<ListView ItemsSource="{x:Bind Items}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
ItemClick="ListView_ItemClick"
IsItemClickEnabled="True" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Image Name="image" Source="{x:Bind CoverImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="150" />
<StackPanel Margin="20,20,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="16" Name="NameTextBlock"/>
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Description}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="10" Name="DescriptionTextBlock"/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Price}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="26" Name="PriceTextBlock"/>
<TextBlock Text="€" FontSize="26" Name="Currency" Margin="5,0,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
I just implemented a GridView with groups feature. I have a list of TVshows's episodes which are grouped by diffusion date.
When I have more than 3 episodes by date, I want to have my items wrapped and go next to the group title, at this time, the next items are going outside of the screen, and it not what I wanted.
As you can see, there is other episodes under the dupplicated one for each day, I want them to go next to the others, not under.
Here is my XAML code, thanks :)

</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
</GroupStyle>
</GridView.GroupStyle>
</GridView>
Add a ItemsPanelTemplate (if you take a look at the default GridApp and the GroupedItemsPage.xaml, you'll see this is how they do it).
<GroupStyle.Panel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VariableSizedWrapGrid Orientation="Vertical" Margin="0,0,80,0" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GroupStyle.Panel>
If you want the 3rd element in a column to leak over the bottom, then you can set a negative bottom margin on the GridView itself.
You virtually erased the GridView control template, so no wonder it doesn't work. Remove the following part and things might get back to normal:
<GridView.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<ItemsPresenter />
</ControlTemplate>
</GridView.Template>
If there is something you want changed in the default template - change that specific thing. The default template has a horizontal ScrollViewer which limits vertical space use by the WrapGrid that is used for its ItemsPanelTemplate and allows items to wrap to next column, while also allowing to scroll horizontally to see all items.
I'm going through the Windows 8 Bing Translator Walkthrough
I was able to follow everything except the XAML part. I'm very new to XAML. Below is what the walkthrough appears to recommend, however VS2012 indicated the markup is invalid, and the error displayed says "the property "content" is set more than once". Is this the only issue? Where this is set more than once?

<DataTemplate x:Key="TweetTemplate">

...and no sooner do I post the question, I find the answer. the above needs to be arranged as follows:
Note that from the example in the link provided above the author used RefreshAppBarButtonStyle. This was changed to AppBarButtonStyle. I;m not sure I fully understand the xaml page yet, but at least I have a working framework to diagnose.

I want to align the contents or items of ExpanderView in horizontal layout instead of vertical layout. The ExpanderHeader is set dynamically and also its contents are added dynamically.
The xaml part and CustomeItemTemplate in app.xaml is as below
<toolkit:ExpanderView
Width="470"
Header="{Binding TaskName, Mode=TwoWay}"
x:Name="taskNameExpander"
Margin="5,10,5,10"
Foreground="#FF677389" FontSize="24" VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="{Binding dateTime}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CustomItemTemplate}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left">
</toolkit:ExpanderView>
<DataTemplate x:Key="CustomItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="60" >
<TextBlock FontSize="16" Text="{Binding Date, Mode=OneWay}"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="#FF677389" Margin="0,6,0,0" Height="30" Width="100"/>
<TextBox BorderBrush="Goldenrod" BorderThickness="1" FontSize="16" Text="{Binding Time, Mode=TwoWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="#FF677389" Margin="0" Height="60" Width="150"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Still i get the contents aligned vertically. Can someone point me what am i doing wrong here?
here is the sample code you have asked for
<Border BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" Margin="5">
<ScrollViewer Width="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<toolkit:ExpanderView
Width="1600"
Header="{Binding TaskName, Mode=TwoWay}"
x:Name="taskNameExpander" Margin="5,10,5,10" Foreground="#FF677389" FontSize="24" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="{Binding dateTime}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CustomItemTemplate}"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left">
<toolkit:ExpanderView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Width="Auto" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</toolkit:ExpanderView.ItemsPanel>
</toolkit:ExpanderView>
</ScrollViewer>
</Border>
and my app.xaml has CustomItemTemplate definition as below
<DataTemplate x:Key="CustomItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="100" >
<TextBlock FontSize="16" Text="{Binding Date, Mode=OneWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="#FF677389" Margin="0,6,0,0" Height="30" Width="100"/>
<TextBox BorderBrush="Goldenrod" BorderThickness="1" FontSize="16" Text="{Binding Time, Mode=TwoWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="#FF677389" Margin="0" Height="60" Width="150">
<TextBox.InputScope>
<InputScope >
<InputScopeName NameValue="Number"></InputScopeName>
</InputScope>
</TextBox.InputScope>
</TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
I want to horizontally scroll only ExpanderView items. Rightnow it is scrolling but the whole ExpanderView is scrolling including its header. The header must be intact and only the items must scroll. How can i acheive it?
You should set the ItemsPanel for the ExpanderView control.
<toolkit:ExpanderView
Width="470" Height="100"
x:Name="taskNameExpander"
Margin="5,10,5,10"
FontSize="24" Background="White"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="1 2 3 4"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CustomItemTemplate}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left">
<toolkit:ExpanderView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</toolkit:ExpanderView.ItemsPanel>
</toolkit:ExpanderView>
have a semantic zoom control in an application where I've got three groups (today, tomorrow and later), but the groups don't necessarily always have at least one item. The semantic zoom control works perfect when all three groups are non-empty, but not whenever any of the items are empty. I've tried clearing out my DataTemplate to ensure it's nothing to do with the bindings, and I couldn't find an event to hook on to so that I could potentially step through what was going on when the zoom-out event is triggered.
Has anyone got this working, or have any ideas/suggestions/tips/workarounds?

I "solved" this by handling the ViewChangeStarted and the ViewChangeCompleted events of the SemanticView control. In the ViewChangeStarted event I added a new item, so that group won't be empty, and in the ViewChangedCompleted event I removed it. It's not a fix, just a workaround, but it does the job.
I don't think this is SemanticZoom issue. We reported very similar issue with GridView with grouped source. If any of the groups were empty we got exception. In fact CollectionViewSource is the likely culprit in this.
Our solution was not to use GridView with grouping. You can configure ItemsControl to look just like grouped GridView. The only downside to this is that you can't select items from different groups at the same time, but for us it was not an issue, since we didn't need selection.
