Windows Phone ListPicker passing SelectedItem

Question

I'm using the rss reader sample and a listPicker. What I want to do is to pass the rss url from the listPicker item to the webClient.DownloadStringAsync.

**MainPage.xaml**
[...]
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Nazwa}"
                                   Margin="12 0 0 0"
                                   VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
                        <Image Source="/Repertuar;component/Images/open.png" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" />
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
            <toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Margin="16 21 0 20">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Nazwa}"
                                   FontSize="43"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
[...]

.

**MainPage.xaml.cs**
[...]
public class Miasto
{
    public string Nazwa
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string Adres
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
    // Constructor
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        IEnumerable<Miasto> source = this.GetDataSource();
        this.listPicker.ItemsSource = source;
    }
    private IEnumerable<Miasto> GetDataSource()
    {
        List<Miasto> source = new List<Miasto>();
        source.Add(new Miasto() { Nazwa = "Bydgoszcz", Adres = "http://film.wp.pl/rss.xml?id=10" });
        source.Add(new Miasto() { Nazwa = "Gdańsk", Adres = "http://film.wp.pl/rss.xml?id=27" });
        return source;
    }
[...]
    webClient.DownloadStringAsync(new System.Uri("http://film.wp.pl/rss.xml?id=27"));
[...]

I have no clue on how to solve this. Is there an easy solution for this issue?

You can pass the id to the url on the selection change event. Are you trying to preload the information on the list item?
