    copied!<p>I have created a simple C# Windows 8 grid application. </p> <p>If you're unfamiliar with this layout, there is a brief explanation of it here :</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/window_8_avtar/archive/2012/09/24/part-1-create-your-first-window-8-app-using-quot-grid-app-xaml-quot-template-and-c-and-xaml-from-scratch.aspx">Link</a></p> <p>What I would like to have is simple - some custom <code>ItemDetailPages</code>. I'd like to be able to click on some items on the <code>GroupDetailPage</code> and the <code>GroupedItemsPage</code> and navigate to a custom <code>.xaml</code> file, one where I can include more than one image.</p> <p>I'm sure there is a simple way of doing that that I have missed out on, and I'm also sure that this information will be useful for a lot of people, so I will be offering a bounty on this question.</p> <p>I have struggled with doing this so far : </p> <p>I've created a <code>CustomDataItem</code> in the <code>SampleDataSource.cs</code> class :</p> <pre><code> /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Generic item data model. /// &lt;/summary&gt; public class CustomDataItem : SampleDataCommon { public CustomDataItem(String uniqueId, String title, String subtitle, String imagePath, String description, String content, SampleDataGroup group) : base(uniqueId, title, subtitle, imagePath, description) { this._content = content; this._group = group; } private string _content = string.Empty; public string Content { get { return this._content; } set { this.SetProperty(ref this._content, value); } } private SampleDataGroup _group; public SampleDataGroup Group { get { return this._group; } set { this.SetProperty(ref this._group, value); } } } </code></pre> <p>However, obviously, adding to the <code>ObservableCollection</code> </p> <pre><code>private ObservableCollection&lt;SampleDataGroup&gt; _allGroups = new ObservableCollection&lt;SampleDataGroup&gt;(); public ObservableCollection&lt;SampleDataGroup&gt; AllGroups { get { return this._allGroups; } } </code></pre> <p>is impossible with a different data type. So what can I do in this case ?</p> <p>Thanks a lot.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
