How to bind data to a flipview using C# in Windows store app

Jul 13 2015 2:11 AM
Im building a windows store app and i need to take textbox values and display them in an items detail page. The textboxes are in a blank page and i added an ItemsDetailPage so theres no sampledatasource.cs file. What im trying to achieve is that when text is entered y the user and the user clickes a button, the page navigates to the Items detail page where the details are shown. Also would like to allow other records to be added so the flipview can be used. It seems like a good idea in my mind but am stuck at Binding the Items. The items i have to bind include
 
<!-- Collection of items displayed by this page --> <CollectionViewSource x:Name="itemsViewSource" Source="{Binding Items}"/> </Page.Resources>
and the flipview binding part looks like
<FlipView
x:Name="flipView"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="ItemsFlipView"
AutomationProperties.Name="Item Details"
TabIndex="1"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource itemsViewSource}}">

<FlipView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="FlipViewItem">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,137,0,0"/>
</Style>
</FlipView.ItemContainerStyle>

<FlipView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--
UserControl chosen as the templated item because it supports visual state management
Loaded/unloaded events explicitly subscribe to view state updates from the page
-->
<UserControl Loaded="StartLayoutUpdates" Unloaded="StopLayoutUpdates">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="scrollViewer" Style="{StaticResource HorizontalScrollViewerStyle}" Grid.Row="1">

<!-- Content is allowed to flow across as many columns as needed -->
<common:RichTextColumns x:Name="richTextColumns" Margin="117,0,117,47">
<RichTextBlock x:Name="richTextBlock" Width="560" Style="{StaticResource ItemRichTextStyle}" IsTextSelectionEnabled="False">
<Paragraph>
<Run FontSize="26.667" FontWeight="Light" Text="{Binding Title}"/>
<LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Run FontWeight="Normal" Text="{Binding Subtitle}"/>
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph LineStackingStrategy="MaxHeight">
<InlineUIContainer>
<Image x:Name="image" MaxHeight="480" Margin="0,20,0,10" Stretch="Uniform" Source="{Binding Image}" AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding Title}"/>
</InlineUIContainer>
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph>
<Run FontWeight="SemiLight" Text="{Binding Content}"/>
</Paragraph>
</RichTextBlock>

<!-- Additional columns are created from this template -->
<common:RichTextColumns.ColumnTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<RichTextBlockOverflow Width="560" Margin="80,0,0,0">
<RichTextBlockOverflow.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform X="-1" Y="4"/>
</RichTextBlockOverflow.RenderTransform>
</RichTextBlockOverflow>
</DataTemplate>
</common:RichTextColumns.ColumnTemplate>
</common:RichTextColumns>

<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

<!-- Visual states reflect the application's view state inside the FlipView -->
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ApplicationViewStates">
<VisualState x:Name="FullScreenLandscape"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Filled"/>

<!-- Respect the narrower 100-pixel margin convention for portrait -->
<VisualState x:Name="FullScreenPortrait">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="richTextColumns" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Margin">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="97,0,87,57"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="image" Storyboard.TargetProperty="MaxHeight">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="400"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>

<!-- When snapped, the content is reformatted and scrolls vertically -->
<VisualState x:Name="Snapped">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="richTextColumns" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Margin">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="17,0,17,57"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="scrollViewer" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Style">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource VerticalScrollViewerStyle}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="richTextBlock" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="280"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="image" Storyboard.TargetProperty="MaxHeight">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="160"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</ScrollViewer>
</UserControl>
</DataTemplate>
</FlipView.ItemTemplate>
</FlipView> 
 
this is the part that supposed to show the details. Im fairly new to programming with C# and only know a little together with windows store apps. My question is how to make a class that will take the textbox values(ive already passsed them to the Items DetailsPage but dont know what to do next) or any other thing that will allow those values to be shown in the flipview. Would appreciate any help offered. Thanks in advance.
