How to display windows phone 7 bound controls inside columns

Question

I was wondering if you can help me fix this small problem, I have a textblocks with data bound representing a table but the problem is all my data looks similar to this:

Test                 0000000    
Test1                0000000 
Test2                0000000 

So I was wondering how could I get the controls to line up similarly to this:

Test    0    0    0    0
Test1   0    0    0    0
Test2   0    0    0    0

Every help is really appreciated

you need to move column definition inside the template:

    <ListBox Height="650" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="11,17,0,0" Name="listBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="434" >
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid> 
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding test}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding test1}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding test2}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="3" Text="{Binding test3}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="4" Text="{Binding test4}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="5" Text="{Binding test5}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="6" Text="{Binding test6}"/>
                    <TextBlock Grid.Column="7" Text="{Binding 7}"/>
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
