Vista - Dynamic Form in WPF

Hi there - I need to build a WPF form dynamically based on a
collection of objects. This collection is of varying length and the
objects vary also - sometimes there may be several bits of text that
need their textboxes (and corresponding labels) created; sometimes
there may be a date that needs a datebox.

I've made progress using StackPanel.Children.Add(obj), and adding the
label item to the "label side" stackpanel and the object to the
element side, but that seems like a very code-heavy approach --
WinForms-ish, even (though admittedly I'm not much of a Win dev, and
I'm a WPF rookie).

So my question is this: it seems like everything I've seen from WPF
indicates that I should be able to databind on that collection and use
some sort of binding templates to, say, call up the textbox template
when I need a textbox, the datepicker when I have a date, radio for
boolean, etc. Ideally, those templates would also contain validation
templates for each control type.But I can't find examples of this or
very clear guidance. There are many different questions here, and too
many variables for a clear, succinct answer, but any help would be
very much appreciated. I've tried the heavy backend coding to just
make progress and get the elements on the page, and I've even
considered analyzing the collection and using XSLT to dynmically
create an entire XAML page (if it's possible to process that page
after a transformation). But again, it seems like there's something
simple and elegant and built-in that I must be missing.

Again, I'm a WPF rookie over from the web/SQL world.
Thanks very much,
Sean
