Biding collection to shape

Hi,
I have an XML with points coordination and i'd like to draw a circle on
each of that points.
How do I bind that XML to a shape object with the minimum amount of
code possible?

I guess it has to do with ItemsControl but documentation / examples are
very poor.

Thanks,
Haggai

This probably won't compile, but it should get you started:

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/select/points}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Ellipse Width="25" Height="25" Fill="Pink" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Canvas.X" Value="{Binding XPath=X}" />
<Setter Property="Canvas.Y" Value="{Binding XPath=Y}" />
</Style>
</ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<ItemsControl.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Canvas IsItemsHost="True" />
</ControlTemplate>
</ItemsControl.Template>
</ItemsControl>

Thank, it works..

just one tiny thingy
In Feb CTP - it's Canvas.Top & Canvas.Lef (instead of Canvas.X &
Canvas.Y)

here's a sample:

<StackPanel
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="itemData">
<x:XData>
<points xmlns="">
<point>
<x>10</x>
<y>10</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>30</x>
<y>30</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>50</x>
<y>50</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>70</x>
<y>70</y>
</point>
</points>
</x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource itemData},
XPath=//points/point}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Ellipse Width="25" Height="25" Fill="Pink"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style >
<Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding XPath=x}" />
<Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding XPath=y}" />
</Style>
</ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<ItemsControl.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Canvas IsItemsHost="True" />
</ControlTemplate>
</ItemsControl.Template>
</ItemsControl>
</StackPanel>
