Passing data from selected item to viewmodel in WinRT - c#

I am currently writing an application in WinRT where i need to pass an id from a selected item in a listview back to my viewmodel. My listview has an Observable collection as an itemsource so there will be a different id for each item in the listview.
my Xaml code look similar to this
<ListView Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding VacationOverviewDisplay}" >
<WinRtBehaviors:Interaction.Behaviors>
<Win8nl_Behavior:EventToCommandBehavior Event="SelectionChanged"
Command="DetailsCommand"
CommandParameter="{Binding Path=DontKnow, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</WinRtBehaviors:Interaction.Behaviors>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Segoe UI" Text="{Binding VacationStart, Converter={StaticResource StringFormatConverter}, ConverterParameter='{}{0:dd MMM yyyy}' }" Margin="20,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Segoe UI" Text="{Binding VacationEnd, Converter={StaticResource StringFormatConverter}, ConverterParameter='{}{0:dd MMM yyyy}' }" Margin="20,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="id" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Segoe UI" Text="{Binding VacationRequestId}" Margin="20,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding StatusView}" Margin="50,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Title: " Margin="50,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock FontStyle="Italic" Text="{Binding VacationCommentUser}" Margin="5,0,0,0"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
I am using the WinRTBehaviors to mimic the EventToCommand behavior but i have no idea how i should get a certain parameter from an item in my listview back to my viewmodel. for the Mvvm i am using MvvmLight.

Just create a property in a view model then bind it to SelectedItem in your list view like this:
SelectedItem={Binding MyProperty, Mode=TwoWay}
That's all. Whenever a user changed a value, your property will be updated.

Bind Selected Item To a Property in your ViewModel
<ListView Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding VacationOverviewDisplay}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedVacation, Mode=TwoWay}">

You should use SelectedValuePath for extracting Id from SelectedItem:
<ListView Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding VacationOverviewDisplay}"
SlectedValuePath="Id"
SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedVacationId, Mode=TwoWay}">

CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=MyListBox, Path=SelectedItem}"
(You'll have to give your ListBox an x:Name value.)

You should make use of ListBox,
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Settings}"
SelectionMode="Single" SelectedItem="{Binding CurrentSelectedSetting, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SettingName}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="5"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Getting value of TextBlock inside AutoCompleteBox DataTemplate

How do I get the value of a TextBlock inside an WPF AutoCompleteBox container within a DataTemplate?
Below is my AutoCompleteBox XAML
<my:AutoCompleteBox Name="acLastName"
FilterMode="StartsWith"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
SelectionChanged='acLastName_SelectionChanged'
ValueMemberPath="LastName">
<my:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Name='UserDetails'>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock x:Name='UserId' Text="{Binding UserDetailsId}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserId}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Comapany}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</my:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
</my:AutoCompleteBox>
acLastName.SelectedItem will be your UserDetails object.
So cast that puppy up and access UserDetailsId through that:
((UserDetails)acLastName.SelectedItem).UserDetailsId
