How to binding UserControl in a StackPanel?

Question

My question is simple, can I use binding in a StackPanel from elements in a LinkedList? In my application the order of the elements in the LinkedList is importante. May the elements can change its positions in the LinkedList on the fly. I want to know if its possible to bind my LinkedList so my app always displays the elements in the correct order without any additional C# code/Event triggers.

Its possible to do this in WPF?

How can I implement this?

Have you tried anything to achieve this? If so, where are you stuck, what are your issues with your solution? — Paul Kertscher, Nov 03 '21 at 12:17
`LinkedList` implements `ICollection` and `IEnumerable` hence I'd assume that it would be possible to bind to and that the order would be maintained.

Just set or bind the ItemsSource property of an ItemsControl to your linked list:

ic.ItemsSource = yourList;

...and optionally define a custom ItemsPanelTemplate for the ItemsControl:

<ItemsControl x:Name="ic">
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
