Answer 1

You have to bind properties of class dashboard1 with the UI controls. Suppose you are showing all the properties , in TextBlock then bind textbox's text property with property of class dashboard1.
So code will be like this.
<TextBlock Text={Binding sectionName} />

Answer 2

<GridView Grid.Row="2"
x:Name="itemGridView"
SelectionMode="Multiple"
SelectionChanged="itemGridView_SelectionChanged" >
<GridView.ItemTemplate >
<DataTemplate >
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#7b579b" Tapped="Border_Tapped_1" >
<Grid Name="tile" Background="{Binding SubjectTilebackGround}" Height="150" Width="150" Tapped="tile_Tapped_1" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock x:Name="hello2" Text="{Binding SubjectName}" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="8" FontWeight="ExtraLight" Visibility="{Binding isTopSubjectTextVisible}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SubjectName}" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="8" FontWeight="ExtraLight" Visibility="{Binding isBottomSubjectTextVisible}" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="98,0,0,0"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
<GridView.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate >
<DataTemplate >
<Grid Margin="0,0,0,6" >
<Button
AutomationProperties.Name="Group Title"
Style="{StaticResource TextPrimaryButtonStyle}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CategoryName}" Margin="2" FontSize="30" Foreground="White" FontWeight="Light" />
<TextBlock Text="( 17 Apps )" Margin="10,2,2,2" FontSize="25" Foreground="White" FontWeight="ExtraLight" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<GroupStyle.Panel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VariableSizedWrapGrid Orientation="Vertical" Margin="0,0,80,0" MaximumRowsOrColumns="3" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GroupStyle.Panel>
</GroupStyle>
</GridView.GroupStyle>
</GridView>
in this example i have added some more useful properties of gridview..and wherever i have used binding like this.
Background="{Binding SubjectTilebackGround}"
it means "SubjectTilebackGround" is a property present in the class of which objects you have made your list ..means in your case is is DASHBOARD1..so any properties available in your dashboard that you can bind them as i did. hope this will help.
