I have a ObservableCollection that I bind to a LongListSelector using the Silverlight toolkit in Windows Phone 7, how can I group the ObservableCollection so that I can use the jumplist control within the LongListSelector?

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.

You can use winRT XAML Toolkit. It provides many controls for us, such as TreeView, ImageButton and so on.

I want to create UI for home page like a Window 8 for desktop application in vb.net using devexpress controls. How can I design the UI?
And I want to use TileLayoutControl for it. But I don't know how to use the tile controls of devexpress. How can I create my home page like Window8 Home page? I want to put various menus on home page as a Tile and when I click on 1 menu the form should be open.
I believe the desktop application is equals to WinForms/WPF application in the context of this question.
So, with DevExpress WinForms you can start from here: DocumentManager Windows UI View Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI View Examples.
With DevExpress WPF Controls you can start from here: Windows UI controls for WPF Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI controls for WPF Examples.
If you mean the Windows Store(WinRT) application please use the DevExpress Windows 8 XAML Controls. Check the Windows 8 XAML Controls Getting Started.

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.
