Vista - Bind to a particular row and column of a dynamic grid?

I'm new to WPF, so perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm
trying to create a grid that contains a collection of objects. The
number of rows and columns of this grid is dynamic; ideally those
properties would be bound to a couple of properties of a custom object.
The position of the objects within the grid would ideally be bound to
properties of those objects themselves.

A Grid allows items to be bound to particular rows/columns, but the
total number of rows/columns must be static (at least, from a pure XAML
perspective). The UniversalGrid allows binding to the total number of
rows/columns, but items cannot be bound to particular rows/columns (they
simply flow horizontally, wrapping with the number of columns).

Below is the closest I can get to what I want. Am I on the right track?
Can anyone point me in a new direction? I'm beginning to suspect it
may require some codebehind.

Thanks in advance,

-Phil
