ListBox structure is similiar to ListView.You just try this.If you don't know MVVM architecture, try to learn the basics of that.

<ListBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MasterTemplate}"
         ItemsSource="{Binding ItemLists}"  
         HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <TextBox Text="{Binding Name,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
    </DataTemplate>
  </ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

The above shows the view.In the viewmodel,you can just declare a observablecollection like this.

public ObservableCollection<ProductModel> ItemLists{get;set;}

Then initialize the list like this,

ItemLists=new ObservableCollection<ProductModel>();

Then add elements to list and it will automatically display in the view because of binding.

private void addProducts()
{
  for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
  {
     ItemLists.Add(new ProductModel{Name="Product"});
  }
}

This is the simple example.In the productmodel,you just declare the name property.

private string name;

public string Name
{
  get{return name;}
  set
  {
    name=value;
    OnPropertyChanged("Name");
  }
}

You can make use of ListBox control in windows phone

A Simple ListBox looks like this(though it can be much more complex with DataBinding etc).

<ListBox >
    <ListBoxItem Content="Item 1" />
    <ListBoxItem Content="Item 2" />
    <ListBoxItem Content="Item 3" />
    <ListBoxItem Content="Item 4" />
</ListBox>
