Selected Items using MVVM in WinRT

Question

I\'m struggling to find a way to bind the SelectedItems property in a ListView to the view model.

Previously I used this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/412417/

Answer 1

Turns out binding to the attached property was failing because the type of the attached property was being seen as

From the output window in Visual Studio:

type ('null')

After further research it became apparent that any generic class would fail to bind with this exact error. As a quick fix I simply changed the type to "object".
