DataTemplate vs ItemContainerStyle

Question

I\'ve seen a few other Silverlight \'vs\' questions around, but couldn\'t find any for this particular match-up.

I\'m trying to define the way in which my objects bound

Answer 1

Answer 1: yes

Answer 1a: as far as I can tell you can do all your styling in the ItemTemplate but the ItemContainerStyle has VisualStates which control the Opacity on mouse over/disabled/selected etc.

If you want to change those opacity state changes, or if you want any Container shape other than a rectangle, like a triangle for example, then you'll have to override the default ItemContainerStyle.
