XAML control that supports data binding except listview or listbox

Is there any XAML control that supports data binding except listview or listbox. I am developing an application using windows azure mobile services table. After retrieving the data from table I am binding the list to a listview as a small preview. When user will select any Item from the list view I want to display the details of the selected item. Which XAML control will be suitable for this task. I can use lots of TextBoxes and assign its Text property from C# code. I dont think It is a good practice. Thank you
If it's a better collection viewer you are looking for for, use a DataGrid. If you want to show more info, it's worth making another panel and showing more data there about the selected item (master detail pattern)
All XAML controls support data bindings. Use DataContext if you want children to access the binding, otherwise you can bind directly on the property.
For example, you could have a separate panel that is a Grid with a few child controls. This Grid's DataContext can be set to the DataGrid's SelectedItem, then it's child controls can easily bind to the item's properties.

Data Binding ListBox in a User Control in the Silverlight Page

I have a user control that has a ListBox with a bunch of other controls.
I need to be able to bind the ListBox control in the Silverlight Page.
I need to be able to do this, so that i can use my usercontrol on several different pages and bind it to different table on each page.
Any ideas of how this can be done?
You can expose a DP of type IEnumerable in your UserControl and, as you feel the property change, set your ListBox's ItemsSource to that property.
