DataTemplate equivalent in Silverlight

Question

Looking for the WPF equivalent of the following:

<controls:TabItem Foreground="Black" Header="{Binding Path=Home.Header}"  Content="{Binding **Path=Home**, Mode=OneWay}" />

Home is:

public ViewModelBase Home
        {
            get
            {
                return this._homeViewModel;
            }
        }

Inside my ViewModel, I am unable to bind the xaml to the _homeViewModel in Silverlight.

Any ideas ?

Silverlight still doesn't support implicit DataTemplates :-(

The best you can do is to use an attached behaviour to set the DataTemplate yourself (and have the behaviour get a DataTemplate with a key that is defined by convention).

Google "Attached Behaviour" if that was gobbledygook.
