Is there a way in XAML to determine if the ListBox has data?
I wanna set its IsVisibile property to false if no data.

The ListBox contains a HasItems property you can bind to. So you can just do this:
<BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibility" />
...
<ListBox
Visibility="{Binding HasItems,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self},
Converter=BooleanToVisibility}" />
Or as a Trigger so you don't need the converter:
<ListBox>
<ListBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger
Binding="{Binding HasItems, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
Value="False">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.Style>
</ListBox>
I haven't tested the bindings so there might be some typos but you should get the idea.
Do it in a trigger and you won't need a ValueConverter:
<ListBox>
<ListBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger
Binding="Items.Count, {Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
Value="0">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.Style>
</ListBox>
So that shows the ListBox by default, but if Items.Count is ever 0, the ListBox is hidden.
<ListBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="ListBox">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="HasItems" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.Style>
You can probably make this work using a ValueConverter and normal binding.
Set Visibility to be:
Visibility = "{Binding myListbox.Items.Count, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}}"
Then set up your converter to return Visibility.Collapsed etc based on the value of the count.
