The following example uses a DataTemplate to display the items of a ListBox, which inherits from ItemsControl. In this example, the ListBox is bound to a collection of Customer objects. The DataTemplate contains TextBlock controls that bind to the FirstName, LastName, and Address properties. For more information on data binding, see Data Binding.

<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<src:Customers x:Key="customers"/>
</Grid.Resources>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{StaticResource customers}" Width="350" Margin="0,5,0,10">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Padding="5,0,5,0"
Text="{Binding FirstName}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}" />
<TextBlock Text=", " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Address}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>

The following example shows the Customer class and the collection that the ListBox is bound to.

public class Customer
{
public String FirstName { get; set; }
public String LastName { get; set; }
public String Address { get; set; }
public Customer(String firstName, String lastName, String address)
{
this.FirstName = firstName;
this.LastName = lastName;
this.Address = address;
}
}
public class Customers : ObservableCollection<Customer>
{
public Customers()
{
Add(new Customer("Michael", "Anderberg",
"12 North Third Street, Apartment 45"));
Add(new Customer("Chris", "Ashton",
"34 West Fifth Street, Apartment 67"));
Add(new Customer("Cassie", "Hicks",
"56 East Seventh Street, Apartment 89"));
Add(new Customer("Guido", "Pica",
"78 South Ninth Street, Apartment 10"));
