how to prevent autoselection of first item in GridView on databind?

c#, data-binding, gridview, windows-runtime, winrt-xaml

Solution

Set the `IsSynchronizedWithCurrenItem` property to `false` on the gridview in xaml

Problem

When I databind my GridView to an ObservableCollection, the first item of the collection is automatically selected. The `SelectionMode` property of the GridView is set to `multiple`. Is there some way to prevent this auto-selection? Or on what event should I listen so that I can reset the `SelectedIndex` of the GridView back to -1?
