Creating sample data for existing UI in Blend?

Question

I'm trying to connect sample data for a WP8 app in Blend.

All tutorials seem to build their UI around sample data. I have a UI already and just want to populate with sample data. If I drag my sample data to a UI control, it's replaced by a repeater connected to the sample data instead.

How do I add sample data from Blend without altering the ui?

The magic happens with modifier keys on drag.
SHIFT-drag is what I was looking for. Add CTRL if you only want to bind against the first item i the sample data.

This excellent article provides screenshots.
