Old post but I went into the same problem but now with SL5 that now allows Binding in style setters. I was trying to avoid to use the ListBox (because it handles selection and so on) and the ItemsControl still doesn't have an ItemContainerStyle. So I tried a few things.

I haven't found many subject discussing this problem so let me share my solution (sorry if it duplicates)

In fact, I found a very convenient way to solve the problem by adding an unnamed Style in the ItemsControl resources :

    
        
    
    
        
            
        
    
    
        
            ...
        
    

Works like a charm in SL5 :)
