How can I bind a List collection to TabControl headers in WPF?

Question

I can get data into my TabControl but the headers have frames around them and I can\'t slick from tab to tab.

What am I doing wrong with the XAML binding syntax on

Answer 1

Here ist what I would do

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        //create all 
        var customers = new List{
            new Customer {FirstName = "Jim", LastName = "Smith", NumberOfContracts = 23},
            new Customer {FirstName = "Jane", LastName = "Smith", NumberOfContracts = 23},
            new Customer {FirstName = "John", LastName = "Tester", NumberOfContracts = 23}};

        //show 
        TheTabControl.ItemsSource = customers;
        TheTabControl.SelectedIndex = 0;
    }


public class Customer
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public int NumberOfContracts { get; set; }
}

And on the XAML side

            
    
                            
                                        
                 
                                    
        
    
    
        
                                        
                This is
