title: Display List of Custom Objects in a ListBox, Using a Custom User Control For Each
body: <p>I have a list of objects (a custom class) that I want to display inside a ListBox, with each object drawing inside a custom User Control. Imagine a list of contacts (with custom Contact class) that should show up as a list of ContactUserControls (the XAML designed to present a Contact)</p>
  
  <p>I know how to databind a list of Contact objects to a ListBox. I can databind a single Contact to a single ContactUserControl. I'm trying to understand the pattern/implementation of a databound list of objects that uses my custom UserControl to draw each object. </p>
  
  <p>Do I bind the ListBox to my list of Contact objects, and (inside the Contact class) set up a connection to the ContactUserControl ("This is how you draw")? Do I bind the ListBox to a list of ContactUserControls, and bind each User Control to one of theses Contact objects before they go into the list? If so, do I have to do it manually via "ForEach" binding, or is there a "semi-magical" way in which it can be done purely via XAML?</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, everything is correctly databound. Thanks! Not expecting somebody to present a turnkey solution of the entire thing, pointers to the applicable pattern/tutorials would be a great start.</p>
