Reporting Services Prompt Area Functionality

I have a user control which is driven by data from a sql database. Each user control contains a query, which can be altered at runtime with parameters. I would like to replicate the functionality of the reporting services viewer, which has the prompt area as seen in the image below.

Prompt Area

The example shown is made up of a single label and textbox. I am currently working towards an implementation like this. However it would be beneficial to be able to provide the users with a list of valid values, to ensure valid data is returned. It would also be nice to have dependencies between controls.

Does anyone know of an examples/implementations of something similar to this? Or any resources which could help with a solution?

Just for reference for others. I managed to implement this functionality using a list of a custom class along with a items collection.

Shown below is the Xaml. You can see the ItemsSource is bound to a list of my parameter class, and the item template binds a label/textbox to properties for each parameter.

<Grid Background="Silver">
    <ItemsControl Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Parameters}">
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="Labels" />
                            <ColumnDefinition />
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Prompt}" Grid.Column="0" TextAlignment="Right"/>
                        <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Value}" Width="200" Grid.Column="1"/>
                    </Grid>
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>

    </ItemsControl>

This is the output, for now it is as simple as labels and textboxes. I will come back to this and improve to use combos with limited values.
