How Do You Create a Local Reference a TabItem ?

Question

Trying to parse Maplines for an airport. Each airport can have X number of different configurations. In code behind I parse each configuration into a separate collection of custom objects which is data bound to the TabItem below. Currently this TabItem is "Hard Coded" in the XAML body. How do I create a template that I can declare from Code behind so I can create X copies of the TabItem?

Thanks!

<TabItem x:Name="TabTerminalMaplineDefined" Header="Airways Defined">
                                    <Grid x:Name="GridTerminalMaplineDefined" Width="Auto" Height="Auto">

                                        <!--AirwaysFixes Mapping Configuration ListView Start - Lists all the fixes that make up the airway-->
                                        <ListView x:Name="ListViewTerminalMaplineDefined" Grid.RowSpan="2" Width="Auto" FontSize="9">

Hey there.

Use DataTemplates.
