Hi, If u r using silverlight5 or if u r using mvvm mode in that then u can do this by using binding like as /> in this case you have to bind your collection to "ItemsSource" property and make single value of same collection and bind this single to "SelectedItem" property. And keep mode in "TwoWay" Set that single property in viewmodel to any value of collection.
