How do I change the visual style of a listitem based on its bound value?

I think you need to bind the background of the item's Grid to the value of the DataContext, and pass it through a converter to implement your logic. Something like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
