Silverlight/WPF - Can you have a different ItemTemplate depending on a base type of the item?

Question

I am binding an ObservableCollection to a ListBox in Silverlight. The list can contain multiple Person or Vehicle objects which both derive from DomainObject. I would like to be able to have a different template for Person and Vehicle, but show them both in the same list. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

DataTemplateSelector is not available in silverlight but there are a few resources around showing examples of how to implement it in a control.
