I have found a bug in the RadDataBoundListBox related to pull to refresh functionality. It occurs in the following scenario:
1. The list is bound to a empty collection
2. The list has a footer configured, but all controls in the footer are set to collaped
In this scenario, if you do a pull to refresh, the whole list will be
blank and you will not see anything until you do another pull to refresh
that contains items.
I am including a sample:
- To repro, press the clear items button then perform a pull to refresh. At this point the view will be blank
- Press the Repopulate Items button to add the items back. You will notice the list box is still blank
- Then do another Pull to refresh and the data will show once again.
I did come up with a workaround, where I just add an empty textblock to the footer

Hello Michael,
Thank you for the information and the attached project.
I am afraid that I can not completely understand what is the scenario you wish to accomplish. If you wish to enable the PullToRefreshIndicator even when no data is displayed, you can set the ShowPullToRefreshWhenNoData property to true. If you wish the footer to be displayed only when there are items in the ItemsSource, then you can set the ListFooterTemplate to null when the footer should not be visible. I have attached a modified version of your project to demonstrate how you can do this.
Also, please note that in your project the Page class should implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and raise the PropertyChanged event for the properties that update the controls (e.g. FooterVisibility property).
If this does not fulfill your requirements, could you please provide more detailed description of the scenario and we will suggest the best way to implement it.
I look forward to your reply.

Rosy,
Yes, in my real application I am using the INotifyPropertyChanged interface to let the View know about the changes (I just didn't implement it for the test app...).
The main thing I want to do with the footer is to have it show up at certain scenarios (I.E. button to show that there is more data available to load, and a busy indicator showing that we are loading data). There will be some instances where the footer is displayed while there is no data available.
I just found a bug where if you have a footer configured, but are currently hiding all controls in the footer, the list is currently empty, and then you do a pull to refresh, then the contents of the list box will not be visible again until you do another pull to refresh when items are in the list.
