How to bind a tabcontrol to several User Controls

I would like to bind a TabControl to User Controls in order to have each User Control in a TabItem.

Is this possible, knowing the TabControl is itself in a UserControl ?

Here's the Dependency Property in the UserControl :

public IList<UserControl> ListUserControls
    {
        get { return (IList<UserControl>)GetValue(ListUserControlsProperty); }
        set { SetValue(ListUserControlsProperty, value); }
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for ListUserControls.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ListUserControlsProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("ListUserControls", typeof(IList<UserControl>), typeof(NavigationPane), new PropertyMetadata(new List<UserControl>()));

In the MainWindow where is the UserControl : 

<pyRGC:NavigationPane.ListUserControls>
    <pyRGCTest:UC_1 />
</pyRGC:NavigationPane.ListUserControls>

When I code this, it displays me : "The following type was expected : "IList'1"". I don't find how to use a IList in XAML.

How can I do ?

Thanks

Since you want to display a fixed number of tabs and you are not using MVVM, you will have to provide TabControl items in XAML rather than via Binding.

Sample code is as below:

<TabControl>
    <TabControl.Items>
        <TabItem Header="Tab One">
            <local:UserControl1 />
        </TabItem>

        <TabItem Header="Tab Two">
            <local:UserControl2 />
        </TabItem>
    </TabControl.Items>
</TabControl>
