Binding to a Collection of Checkboxes - windows-phone-7

Question

I'm trying to do some XAML binding for the Windows Phone (targeting WP7.1) and I have a collection of checkboxes that I want to display. I want to put them inside the WrapPanel
What control(s) would I use to bind to a collection of checkboxes? I don't see an ItemSource for the WrapPanel. So I'm not sure what I would use.
<ListBox Height="auto" Name="lbAssignments" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black" ItemsSource="{Binding DataList}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock" Text="{Binding Title}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,10" FontSize="26.667" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock1" Text="{Binding Title}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,10" FontSize="26.667" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<toolkit:WrapPanel Height="400" Width="400">
<!--collection of checkboxes-->
</toolkit:WrapPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Binding to a collection of UI controls is not exactly the thing you'd want to do. Instead, I would recommend binding to a collection. For many reasons - performance, memory allocation and general maintenance/flexibility.
Since you mentioned that you have a List<string>, you can just bind it to a ListBox:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding YourList}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="{Binding}"></CheckBox>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
However, you can still proceed with biding an element to a collection of other elements, given that appropriate support exists. You could use an ItemsControl:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=myPage, Path=SomeCollection}">
</ItemsControl>
Here, SomeCollection might as well be ObservableCollection<CheckBox>.
