WPF listbox with images inreasing memory

I am using listbox of images its increasing the memory usage upto giga bytes.I am using this xaml.
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<ScrollViewer>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FilterImportSlideCollection}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource slideItemTemplate}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
And the template is
<DataTemplate x:Key="slideItemTemplate" >
<Grid Width="100" Height="130" Margin="2 2 2 2" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="80"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Background="White" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Grid.Row="0" Panel.ZIndex="3" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Right="0">
<Image MinWidth="100" MinHeight="80" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Source="{Binding ImagePath, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}"></Image>
</Border>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Text="{Binding Title}" Foreground="Black"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
each ImagePath has the path of images like
"https://localhost:2673/SlideThumbnail/1272.png"

Placing the ListBox inside a ScrollViewer disables UI Virtualization meaning all your ListItems are created in memory at once.
try:
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FilterImportSlideCollection}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource slideItemTemplate}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" />
</Grid>
For further information about virtualization have a look at MSDN:
Displaying Large Data Sets

WPF ItemsControl content cropping rather than scrolling

I have a .NET 4.0 WPF application using the MVVM pattern and I've been unable to achieve the desired outcome on one of the screens (UserControl as View). I have stripped down most of the page to show the core of the problem. The page consists of a grid with three rows and one column. The first row contains header text and the last row contains a Save button. The middle row contains a grid with one row and column and displays an ObservableCollection in an ItemsControl with a data template of a custom user control. There are ten items in the collection and I want them to display in two columns and five rows so I have a WrapPanel as an ItemsPanelTemplate.
I want the ItemsControl to scroll within the available space but it is expanding to the size of content and most of it is being cropped off the bottom of the page.
I am listing the XAML for user control the ObservableCollection uses as a data template and the XAML for the main page below that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Changed question title as I have removed the ScrollViewer between starting the question and actually posting it. Also, noticed the Save button was in the inner grid rather than outer grid so I have corrected that (no change in rendering).

An ItemsControl does not have its own ScrollViewer like a ListBox. You can either replace you ItemsControl with a ListBox, or simply wrap it in a ScrollViwer, being careful to move the Grid.Row and Grid.Column settings like this:
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
<ItemsControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items,
UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ShopNotesComponentsTemplate}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel Width="300" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>

Page scrollbar windows 8

my problem is that I have only scrollbar for gridview but don't have scrollbar for entire page. Scrollbar should be at the bottom of the page, horizontal. I tried to add scrollbar to the bottom, but it doesn't appear on the page. I've also posted a link to the picture for better understanding. http://i40.tinypic.com/2rm0389.png Sorry that i have only a link, because i need 10 reputation to post images here, it is so bad.
Thanks in advance.
Here is my code (XAML), not entire page, my scrollbar at the bottom:

Failing To Set The Wrap Panel Functionailty On Dynamically generated Groupboxes

Hi buddies :) I am working on a wpf app which deals with groupboxes and wrap panel. Looking at the title, it seems to be simple but after dynamically generating set of groupboxes I am finding it difficult. Here is the scenario:
I have 2 xaml files in my project. One is CodecView.xaml and CodecWidgetView.xaml. I have dynamically generated 4 groupboxes on startup as follows:
CodecView.xaml:
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="CWDataTemplate">
<WrapPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<local:CodecWidgetView Margin="5,10,5,5"/>

This on startup dynamically generates 4 groupboxes one below the other. Since my windowsize is minheight = 300 and minwidth = 300, I have set scrollviewer. Since I have used Wrappanel, When i stretch it, it should behave as expected. That's when width is stretched 2nd groupbox should go to the right side of 1st row and same happens below.
On Startup:
When Width is Stretched:
Expected behaviour:
Thus looking at the expected behaviour, I want to achieve how wrappanel behaves :) Even though I have used wrappanel but it doesn't wrk as expected. Please help :)

You have used a WrapPanel as the panel of each individual item in the ItemsSource, which is not doing what you want.
Instead you have to explicitly tell the ItemsControl to use a WrapPanel as the panel for all of its children.
<ItemsControl ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CWDataTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding CodecWidgets}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>

How to right align some elements of WPF ListItem?

I have a WPF listbox and have updated the list item data template to have essentially a 3 column layout.
I would like:
|status color|name| buttons|
These are probably CSS terms but I want to float the status color and name to the left, which I've done, then I would like the buttons to be floated to the right, and always stay to the right even as the window gets wider.
I feel like I'm so close, the list item widths grow when the window gets wider, all I feel I have to do is tell the buttons to float right but can't figure out how. I've tried stack panels, a grid with a auto|*|auto column layout (With a stretch on the last column) and I've tried a dockpanel.
Here's my XAML:

And an image of what I'm trying to achieve:

The problem is at the first level below DataTemplate, here:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
By its nature a StackPanel will align items to the left, so it's not a layout that's well suited to what you want to do. Instead try using a Grid with two columns, giving the left column Width=* and the right Width=Auto.
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Orientation="Vertical">
...
</StackPanel>
<DockPanel Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Center">
...
</DockPanel>
</Grid>
<DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBox>

In your ItemContainerStyle, set the HorizontalAlignment to Stretch. I believe it is Left by default, which may be causing the Grid or StackPanel or whatever container you use to collapse.
