WPF - ItemTemplate not acting as expected
I have a UserControl which I'm using to display a list of UIElement s. The control consists of a single ItemsControl with it's ItemPanelTemplate switched for a horizontal StackPanel , its ItemsSource bound to a DependencyProperty exposed by the UserControl and its ItemTemplate set in the UserControl.Resources . Everything works fine except the ItemTemplate never get's applied and I can't see why. The full source is below. UserControl.xaml - <UserControl x:Name="UC" x:FieldModifier="private" x:Class="ContentSliderControl.ContentSlider" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml
