The task of generating multiple controls for multiple items from some list is best solved using ItemsControl:

This ItemsControl named "itemsList" contains buttons with custom template. Each button will display one the Name of one item from list.

DataEntity is a class which contains values from db, e.g.

public class DataEntity
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Items list is linked to ItemsControl via ItemsSource property (in my demo I'm doing it in window code-behind in constructor)

itemsList.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection
{
    new DataEntity { Name = "A" },
    new DataEntity { Name = "B" },
    new DataEntity { Name = "C" },
};

Buttons have click handler attached ("ItemButtonClick"). The clicked button is determined from sender argument:

private void ItemButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var button = (Button)sender;
    var item = button.DataContext as DataEntity;

    MessageBox.Show("Clicked " + item.Name);
}
