Populate Xaml with an array in C#

How can I populate Xaml with C# array (or list or dic) data like ng-repeat in angular. So given I have the following:

var list = new List<string>() { "item1", "item2" };

And a xaml view:

<StackLayout ng-repeat="x in list">
<SomeTag>TextHere</SomeTag>
<SomeOtherTag Text="x"></SomeOtherTag>
</StackLayout>

Assuming SomeTag and SomeOtherTag are valid tag names, how can I recreate ng-repeat behaviour in this. I am not looking for any dropdown boxes, I just want a looping mechanism

You're gonna need to use a ListView with an ItemTemplate. The ListView is the list itself, and then each item in your list of data will use the ItemTemplate to draw itself.

As i don't know if you're using Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android or Xamarin.Forms, i can't give you a direct link to the documentation, but it should be easy to google.
I have personally created a listview as this in Xamarin.Forms, so i could potentially help more if you're also doing it with Xamarin.Forms.
