TabControl doesn't support DataBinding

description

TabControl does not:
  1. Generate TabItems.
  2. Have a ContentTemplate property.
  3. Have a ItemContainerStyle property.
     
    We're planning on fixing this in the Silverlight vNext timeline.

Closing as TabControl is actually not part of the toolkit. We have internal bugs on the control. Thanks!

Need to get an AnimatedTabControl to work.

The following markup (from WPF) should work identically in the Silverlight TabControl:

<TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" SelectedItem="{Binding ActiveItem, Mode=TwoWay}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
...
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<TabControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
...
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ContentTemplate>
</TabControl>

I use my own extended tab control for the databinding functionality.
Here is example and code of the extended control, where I've answered another question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4828661/silverlight-4-making-closeable-tabitems/4830314#4830314
It supports adding and removing items and markap is identical to wpf, except names for attributes (MyItemsSource instead of ItemsSource for example).
