WPF Databinding stackpanel

Question

Im a beginner in WPF programming, coming from .NET 2.0 C#.

Im trying to make a horizontal StackPanel which should be filled with data from a table in a database. The problem is that I want it to display an image with some text from the table below and then stack those two items horizontally.

Here's some pseudo-code to display what I want to do:

<StackPanel Orientation="horizontal" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=myTable}">
    <StackPanel>
        <Image Source="User.png"/>
        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="{Binding Path=UserName}"></Label>
    </StackPanel>
</StackPanel>

I simply cannot figure oout how to do this.

Julien's answer is correct for your written description, however, looking at your XAML, it appears you are looking for something like the following:

<DataTemplate x:Key="UserDataTemplate">
    <StackPanel>
        <Image Source="User.png"/>
        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="{Binding Path=UserName}" />
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

<ItemsControl x:Name="UserList" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource UserDataTemplate}" >
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>

You definately need an ItemsControl (or some derivation of) to bind your source to. Then you can change the the orientation by setting it's items panel (which I believe is a VirtualizingStackPanel with Vertical orientation by default) so just set it to a VirtualizingStackPanel with Horizontal Orientation. Then you can set the ItemsTemplate for each of your items to the layout you desire (an image stacked on top of text bound from your database).
