Binding to a collection of user controls in XAML

I've a collection of UserControls which I want to show in a stack panel. I've no control over how and what those user controls contain. I just know that they are some sort of user controls (could be a button, a textblock or any UIElement.) Here is a small example

public class Car : IHasView
{
     public UserControl MyView { get return new MyCarViewThatHasAButton(); }
}

public class Jeep : IHasView
{
    public UserControl MyView { get return new MyJeepViewThatHasATextb开发者_开发知识库lock(); }
}

public class MainView : INotifyPropertyChanged{
    private ICollection _myViews;
    public ICollection MyViews {
    get { return _myViews;}
    set{ 
       _myViews = value; 
       NotifyPropertyChanged("MyViews");
    }

...
...
}

In this example, I want to bind to MyViews and show all the views in the collection in a stack panel. How should I go and bind it? I'm new to WPF world.

Thanks.


Here's an example of 1 way to do it.

The ItemsControl.ItemsPanel part of the ItemsControl can be removed if you just want the default ItemsPanel template which is a vertical stackpanel - I've just redundantly included it so you can see where your StackPanel actually exists, or if you want to change the StackPanel in some way.

The ItemTemplate is referred to by explicitly by the key name of HasViewItemTemplate, because you can't have the data templates applied implicity because your data items are interface types.

[ You might need to do more work like use a singleton on the MyCarViewThatHasAButton and MyCarViewThatHasAButton, use a better pattern for NotifyPropertyChanged, etc. ]
