Nahum you'll have to use ItemsSource="{Binding PropsList}", assuming PropsList is a Dependancy property in your code behind or, even better, a property in your data context that implements INotifyPropertyChanged. In your case you'd have to set the DataContext property of your View to be the ViewModel
