将datatemplate应用于自定义对象？

Question

Assuming I have a class derived from Shape. I'm looking for way how to implement support for binding it with datatemplate. A datatemplate looking something like this:

<DataTemplate>    
  <Grid x:Name="grid">
        <Path x:Name="path" Data="F1 M 0.0692474,6.76634C -2.5902,6.76634 -4.91351,8.20551 -6.16436,10.3475L 0.0665311,-10.3179L 6.29167,10.3284C 5.03818,8.19696 2.72079,6.76634 0.0692474,6.76634 Z " />
  </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

It's clear for me how to apply Datatemplate to controls, such as buttons, textboxs, listviews and so on.

The TemplatePartAttribute does what you like. See this tutorial for info on how to write a Custom Control that supports Templating and see how you can mix your shape in there.
