          <ListBox x:Name="listBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Layers.[Karachi].Layers, ElementName=listBox}">
                .
.
.
<CheckBox x:Name="checkBox" Content="{Binding Name, ElementName=checkBox}" IsChecked="{Binding DefaultVisibility, ElementName=checkBox, Mode=TwoWay}" Tag="{Binding ID, ElementName=checkBox}" />

For starters, remove the ElementName from your bindings. ElementName tells Silverlight to look for another XAML control by name to specify the source of the binding. In your case the source of all the checkbox bindings will be understood by Silverlight to be the individual (sub)layers, since the control is in the ItemTemplate.

Also, it looks like you're trying to create a listbox with checkboxes to show and hide the sublayers. Binding the checkbox to layer.DefaultVisibility will set the layer visibilty on startup, but it won't toggle the layer visibility at runtime. Several users on this forum have done this in other ways, Here is an example. You might also look at this interactive sample for a pattern.

Hope this helps you!

- To set the ItemsSource property of your ListBox control follow the instructions below:
1. Select your ListBox in Expression Blend and look for "ItemsSource" property in "Common Properties" section of the Properties tab.
2. Use "Advanced Options" indicator --> Data Binding...
3. In "Create Data Binding" window click on "Element Property" tab, select your map control in "Scene elements" list.
4. Check "Use a custom path expression" CheckBox and type in "Layers.[DynamicLayerCalifornia].Layers" for its TextBox (Note that you could have simply selected the "Layers" property in "Properties" list on the right side of this tab however; you are specifically looking for layers collection in your dynamic layer hence; need to type it in).
5. Click "OK", you are done with the element data binding of your ListBox.

- To customize your ListBox ItemTemplate do the following:
1. In Expression Blend right click on your ListBox --> Edit Additional Templates --> Edit Generated Items (ItemTemplate) --> Create Empty.
2. In "Create DataTemplate Resource" window enter the name/key for the template you are creating for your ListBox.
3. Drag and drop a CheckBox control inside of the "Grid" in the data template you are editing (you should see a small transparent squared Grid).
4. Set the properties of the CheckBox after selecting it, i.e. ClickMode, Margin, etc... For "IsChecked" property of the CheckBox use the "Advanced Options" indicator --> Data Binding... and in "Create Data Binding" window check "Use a custom path expression" CheckBoxand type in "DefaultVisibility" after clicking on the "Data Context" tab. Do the same for the "Content" and "Tag" properties.

<ListBox Margin="0,5,0,0" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers.[DynamicLayerCalifornia].Layers}"
                         Grid.Row="1">
                    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox Margin="2"
                                  Name="DynamicLayerCalifornia"
                                  Content="{Binding Name}"
                                  IsChecked="{Binding DefaultVisibility}"
                                  Tag="{Binding ID}"
                                  ClickMode="Press"
                                  Click="CheckBox_Click" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                </ListBox>

this code works XAML (perfectly)
but how can i bind list box with checkbox in Expression Blend 4 without using the code

You can find a blog here about how to use Blend to customize look and feel of the ArcGIS Silverlight API controls.

It's difficult to tell exactly what you are trying to do. Could you perhaps post some of your code? In general I have found it tough to setup complex bindings using Blend. 🙂
