title: Silverlight ItemsControl
body: <p>I am trying to use an ItemsControl to display a DataTemplate. I have this simple example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;navigation:Page.Resources&gt;
      &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="PictureResultsTemplate"&gt;
          &lt;!--&lt;Grid/&gt; --&gt;
          &lt;TextBlock Text="Nick Was Here"&gt;&lt;/TextBlock&gt;
      &lt;/DataTemplate&gt;
  &lt;/navigation:Page.Resources&gt;       
  
  
  &lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"&gt;
      &lt;Grid Margin="0,0,8,8"&gt;
          &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;
              &lt;RowDefinition Height="0.102*"/&gt;
              &lt;RowDefinition Height="0.898*"/&gt;
          &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;
          &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
              &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/&gt;
              &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="*"/&gt;
          &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;
  
      &lt;ItemsControl x:Name="PictureResults" Margin="0,8,0,0" Grid.Row="2" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource PictureResultsTemplate}"&gt;
      &lt;/ItemsControl&gt;     
  
      &lt;/Grid&gt;         
  
  &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How come the textblock text is not visible? Thanks!</p>
