You can set a DataTemplate on the ItemTemplate property of the ListBox:

<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding}">
  <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate DataType="tfs:WorkItem">
      <StackPanel>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" />
        <!-- Others -->
      </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
  </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

You have two options.

The simplest method is to set the DisplayMemberPath property of your ListBox to "Title".

If you want to set not only what gets displayed, but the type of control that is used to display it, then you would set the ListBox's ItemTemplate.

For what your goal is, I would recommend the first option.
