How do you reference a control in the HubSection?

Question

I have a Hub application. In the first HubSection I have an adControl that I want to hide when the user buys the app. I can't figure out how to do this though. Is there perhaps an alternative to doing this?

Hi, Mark Moeykens.
You can use Binding from viewModel, example:

1. You have bool property in your viewModel (ex. IsFullVersion) which binding to visibility property in first hubSection

private bool isFullVersion;

public bool IsFullVersion
{ 
  get
  {
    return this.isFullVersion;
  }

  set
  {
    this.isFullVersion = value;
    RaisePropertyChanged("IsFullVersion");
  }
}

2. When you initialize your ViewModel set some value to this property

this.IsFullVersion = [value];

3. And in xaml binding property from viewModel to visibility property

<HubSection Visibility = {Binding IsFullVersion, Convertor={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}>
  [Some Content]
</HubSection>

DataContext of page is current viewModel
