I have created a Windows Phone 8.1 run-time app.

I am using the ListView control.

I want to alternate the each background row color.

After searching I found this link [a previous answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12796342/alternate-background-color-in-listview-xaml).

But this gives errors in the markup. For one thing there is no 'AlternationCount' property. I am assuming this is because it is not SilverLight but RT?

If anyone can send me a link as I am struggerling to find a simple example. even better a simple code example would be appreciated.
