Answer 3

Hi Weblineindia,

I think that you can add and use the Listview and Listbox controls to your Windows Store app to get a better understanding and experience of the detailed differences between them.

See the following articles for further information about Listview and Listbox classes:
Listbox: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.listbox
Listview: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.listview 

Also take a look at this one for detailed information about how to work with Listview control:

Thanks.
