Selection Changed event is not getting called for panorama if i am using data template for Panorama control in Windows Phone 8. Why?

Question

Hi I am developing a Windows Phone 8 application but stucked at a point, I am using panorama view to display different views that are dynamically generated. For that I am using a DataTemplate for Panorama. Now I created an event handler as SelectionChanged for panorama but its not getting called. Example

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1">
            <Image Height="250" Width="500" Source="{Binding images}" Stretch="Fill"/>
    </DataTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
    <phone:Panorama x:Name="PanoramaImages" Width="520" SelectionChanged="Panorama_SelectionChanged_1" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DataTemplate1}" >
    </phone:Panorama>
</Grid>

In above example, the SelectionChanged event is not getting called whenever i swipe on the screen and panorama item gets changed. If I am just putting the items directly within the Panorama control like...

<phone:Panorama
     <phone:PanoramaItem>
          <Image source="/Assets/abc.png"/>
     <phone:PanoramaItem>

     <phone:PanoramaItem>
          <Image source="/Assets/xyz.png"/>
     <phone:PanoramaItem>
</phone:Panorama>

the SelectionChanged event gets called, when i am swiping on the screen and panorama item gets changed. Please help me to solve this issue.Any help would be highly appreciated.

Make sure the objects your are adding to the ItemsSource are of type phone:PanoramaItem.
