WP7 ListBox Grouping

Question

Is there any in-built grouping for ListBoxes or another UI control? I would like to have a list but have some form of grouping or sections applied to the list. As shown below:

heading one
     list item one
     list item two
heading two
     list item one
     list item two
     list item three
     list item four

Is there anything available for such purpose without building something from scratch? I don't wish to mix a match multiple ListBoxes, rather I would prefer a solution where this was handled at the data binding level.

Answer 1

LongListSelector comes to mind.

Alternatively, you could look into applying either of these grouping implementations to the phone's listbox.

Answer 2

You want to look at the "Long List Selector" in the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit

Its a control that looks+behaves just like the grouping behavior in contacts/etc on the phone.
