Binding a list of images to a ListBox

Im trying to bind a list of images to a Listbox, but all I get is a list of Type names

<ListBox x:Name="PhotosListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding MyImages}" />

The MyImages is a List<BitMapImages>

Right now It just returns a list of System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage instead of showing the Images

EDIT For further ref, here is the final code.

<ListBox x:Name="PhotosListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding MyImages}" >
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Image Source="{Binding}" Stretch="Uniform"></Image>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

You need to use an ItemTemplate other than the default so that the ListBox knows how to handle the data type being passed to it.

By default, the ToString() method of the bound data type will be invoked, which by default will return the fully qualified type name.

You should define a custom ItemTemplate for the ListBox.
