Bind textbox list inside listbox in wpf

I have to make listbox with textbox in it... and it has to be dynamic. I have observable collection in code behind and I want to bind that for listbox. I want dynamic listbox and this list should have editable textbox in it. So, basically I want to bind multiplr textbox from listbox. Any help would be appreciated

<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="ListTwo" Height="100" Margin="286.769,165.499,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBox Name="TextBoxList"></TextBox>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

By doing this, I have number of textbox same as items in observable collection but textbox's text is not set up.

If the items in your ObservableCollection are just plain strings, then you can data bind to the whole string value like this:

<ListBox Name="ListTwo" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}" ... >
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBox Name="TextBoxList" Text="{Binding}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

From the Binding.Path Property page on MSDN:

Optionally, a period (.) path can be used to bind to the current source. For example, Text="{Binding}" is equivalent to Text="{Binding Path=.}".

Note that if you had some objects with properties in the collection, then @nit's answer would have been correct as you would need to reference the relevant property name:

<ListBox Name="ListTwo" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}" ... >
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBox Name="TextBoxList" Text="{Binding PropertyName}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

You will have to Bind your textbox to the property in your class of which observable collection you have bound

<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="ListTwo" Height="100" Margin="286.769,165.499,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=obs}">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBox Binding="{Binding PROPERTYINCLASS}"></TextBox>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
