Vertical ScrollView of ListView without Height

My UWP application has ListView with dynamic contents. I want to enable ScrollView when it's height reaches to the end of device height it runs(desktop/mobile). I don't want to set height/maximum height of ListView. Because it should display as it is.
I have tried like below. But it is not working. It works only if specify the height of ListView.
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions >
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ListView x:Name="ItemListView" Margin="0,0,0,0" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" >
<!--ListView ItemTemplate to fill-->
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width=".5*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width=".8*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.RowSpan="2">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SerialNum}" TextAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XX}" TextAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Orientation="Vertical" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding YY}" TextAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock x:Name="tb_list_date" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding ZZ}" TextAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AA}" TextAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="4" Grid.RowSpan="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BB}" TextAlignment="Center"/> </StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>

The problem is that the Grid.RowDefinition is set to Auto height. This lets the controls in the row to use any height they need. This causes the ListView to stretch beyond the boundaries of the page and because its height is actually the full height of the list, it does not scroll (but you can't see the overflow).
To fix this, change the Grid.RowDefinition Height to *. This will give the control all available space in the Grid but not more than that:
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid>

UWP C# - Problems with Grid in a Listview

I am writing a little app in C# for windows 10, and I have a listview as below, which is already in a grid.
However the grid I am adding to the listview doesn't expand out to fill the space, it is just grows as wide as the length of the data contained in the field bound to it. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to use fixed fields, I'd prefer to use a relative proportion of the page width.

You need to set the HorizontalContentAlignment inside ListView.ItemContainerStyle for ListViewItem to Stretch.
Your Full XAML For ListView will be like below.
<ListView x:Name="ThisList"
Grid.Row="2"
Grid.ColumnSpan="5"
Background="LightBlue"
Margin="5"
ItemsSource="{Binding data}"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="ThisList_ItemClick">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Red" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border Background="Aquamarine" Grid.Column="0">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="Folder" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="15 0"/>
</Border>
<Border Background="Yellow" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FName}" Margin="10" />
</Border>
<Border Background="Cyan" Grid.Column="2">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FTime}" Margin="10"/>
</Border>
<Border Background="Tomato" Grid.Column="3">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FSize}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="10"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
See in the end, How I added ItemContainerStyle Targeting Only ListViewItem.
Final Output will be
Good Luck.

Might be it will helpful for you. I had used like that-
<ScrollViewer ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<StackPanel>
<ListView x:Name="UserMessageList">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="local1:MessageModel">
<StackPanel>
//Add your conrole
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

Dividing listbox into several columns with headers

I'm trying to divide a listbox into several columns, so that I add an item by calling Listbox.items.add(item); and it will display with different properties in different columns. Here is my code so far:
<ListBox Name="listbox1" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Padding="2">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="local:ScheduledEvent">
<Grid Margin="0 5">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Margin="3 0 3 0" FontFamily="Helvetica" FontSize="18" Text="{Binding WorldRank}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Surname}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="3" Text="{Binding Age}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="4" Text="{Binding Country}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="5" Text="{Binding GraduationYear}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

StackPanel inside Grid - how to put its elements in different columns

Here's my code:
<Grid x:Name="SourceGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="Headers" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Text="Tags" />
<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AllHeaders.Fields}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=SourceGrid, Path=DataContext.Tags}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
As you can see, I have a TextBlock and a ComboBox inside of a DataTemplate, which is inside of a StackPanel. What I want to do is put TextBlock in Column=0 of my grid, and a ComboBox into Column=1 of my grid. How can I do that? Grid.Column property is inaccessible in both TextBlock and ComboBox.

this is your new layout:
<Grid x:Name="SourceGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="Headers" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="Tags" />
<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AllHeaders.Fields}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="SourceGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
Grid.Column="0" />
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DataContext.Tags, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type Grid},AncestorLevel=2}}"
Grid.Column="1" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
or
<Grid x:Name="SourceGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="Headers" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="Tags" />
<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AllHeaders.Fields}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="SourceGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
Grid.Column="0" />
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DataContext.Tags, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"
Grid.Column="1" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>

Windows 8 XAML ListView Header not same size

Currently having an issue where the header of my ListView is larger than my ListView Items, so the header doesn't line up properly. I could use a margin on the header as a hack to fix it, but surely there's a proper way to fix this?
<DataTemplate x:Key="HeaderTemplate" >
<Grid Height="36" Background="#99999999" Margin="0,0,5,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock x:Uid="Name" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Project" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
<TextBlock x:Uid="Qty" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Qty" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
<TextBlock x:Uid="SubTotal" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Sub Total" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
<TextBlock x:Uid="Total" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Total" Grid.Column="3" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
// ...
<ListView x:Name="CartGridView" ItemsSource="{Binding CartItmes}" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource HeaderTemplate}"
Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="auto" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource SimpleListViewItemStyle}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Height="auto" Margin="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Qty, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Text="{Binding SubTotal, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="3" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Total, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

Add the following to your ListView definition
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
