                                        <DataTemplate>
                                            <StackPanel>
                                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
                                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}" />
                                            </StackPanel>
                                        </DataTemplate>
                                    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                                </ItemsControl>
                            </StackPanel>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>    
                </ItemsControl>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>

And the below is my summary of class
MenuOfWeekPresenter

└ObservableCollection MenuOfWeek

MenuOfDay

└string DayOfWeek

└ObservableCollection menus

Menu

└string Type

└ObservableCollection meals

Meal

└string Name

└string Price

And I want to use {Binding Type} where,

<StackPanel>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}" />
</StackPanel>

For example,

<StackPanel>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Type}" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}" />
</StackPanel>

like that…

please help me..:'(

To accomplish this i think you would need to bind to the parents Datacontext and that is a bit tricky in Windows Phone 7 because it doesn’t know FindAncestor you would have to use a Binding helper.
