WP8/C# - Fill Grid From Collection?

Question

I'm creating a sound board type app purely for learning purposes. What I would like to do is define a collection of Sound objects - my Sound object contains Name, File Path and Image properties - , and fill a grid with these objects.

Is it possible to fill a Grid from a collection? I know it can be done with a List, but I'm using a grid to lay out my sounds in XAML in a grid format.

In this post we'll see how to bind a collection of items to a ListBox and generate simple templates for each ListBoxItem. We'll also look at C# and how to define collections and what types of collections should you use when binding data.
