C# WPF listBox vertical alignment

I have a listBox with a checkbox I want to manage the alignment through setting the vertical alignment.
I have seen several solution here e.g. set verticalContentAlignment or verticalAlignment to top but that didn't work.
I've also seen some setting a style but couldn't manage to make it done.
What I'd like is to know WHY the ONLY element is down there. I can't understand why it's stuck in the middle.
Here's my code:
<ListBox x:Name="lb2Tab3" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" FontSize="{StaticResource BUTTON_FONTSIZE}" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Margin="0,0,0.8,0" >
<CheckBox x:Name="cbEasyRunManagesPcDmis" Margin="20" Content="EasyRun Manages PC-DMIS" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="cbTouchScreen_Click" />
</ListBox>
thanx for any help

You need to align the ListBox
<ListBox x:Name="lb2Tab3" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalContentAlignment="Top"
If that does not work then post more of your XAML

So the problem was related with the fact that there are several listBox one on top of the other. I thought that making them hidden was enough but when I painted the second listBox in black I saw that it was not starting from the top (see image).
So the solution was to set Visibility = Collapsed for all the listbox that are not in use.
Thanks to kirotab for putting me on the right path. Not sure if I can vote your comment.

You should use GridColumns and GridRows property of Grid control for you XAML. You have problem with resolution, because you hardcode margins of you TextBlocks. You should write:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefition />
......
</Grid.RowDefinitions/>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
....
</Grid.ColumnDefiniti‌​ons/>
.....
</Grid>
And after insert your TextBlock to need column and row, for ex.:
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />

The problem is that you gave a x:Name and not a x:Key to the template
Replace this:
<DataTemplate x:Name="PickerItemTemplate">
with this code:
<DataTemplate x:Key="PickerItemTemplate">
DataTemplates are accessed by their Key. If you also require the Name for some reason, you can also use both attributes at the same time.

I solved it.

How to reference a static resource from within a datatemplate

I have the following problem:
<DataTemplate x:Key="OrganisationsItemTemplate">
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5,0,0,0">
<Button Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.LoadSpacesCommand, ElementName=OrganisationList}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Padding="-5,0,-5,-5" Margin="-7,-12,-7,-7" Height="auto" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" UseLayoutRounding="True" FontSize="0.01">
<Grid Margin="0,0,5,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="67"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Background="Transparent">
<Border Background="White" BorderThickness="0" Width="62" Height="62" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,5">
<Image Source="{Binding image.thumbnail_link}" Width="62" Height="62"></Image>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="Transparent">
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="30" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" />-->
<phone:LongListSelector x:Name="SpacesList"

IsGroupingEnabled="False" VerticalContentAlignment="Top">
</phone:LongListSelector>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="SpacesTemplate">
<Border Background="Transparent" Padding="5,0,0,5">
<Border Background="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" BorderThickness="2" Width="62"

</Border>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
In my data template I am placing LongListselector... which also needs a template. but the SpacesTemplate that is defined outside the current datatemplate cannot be seen. any ideas how to reference the datatemplate "SpacesTemplate" from within the datatemplate "OrganisationsItemTemplate"

Xaml is read top down, if you want to use SpacesTemplate inside OrganisationsItemTemplate you will have to put SpacesTemplate before OrganisationsItemTemplate in the Xaml
