Accessing items source object from usercontrol

So I have this Code in Xaml

XML

<ItemsControl Margin="10" DockPanel.Dock="Left"
                 ItemsSource="{Binding SnippetList}">
                       <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                           <DataTemplate>
                               <v:MyUserControl Margin="2"/>
                           </DataTemplate>
                       </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                   </ItemsControl>

How can I access the object of SnippetList which is bound to a MyUserControl from MyUserControl's code behind. I know it is a simple question but please help.

Something like this is what I require
SnippetList is an ObservableCollection of SnippetObject

C#

SnippetObject temp = this.getSnippetObject(); //this refers to MyUserControl

I need objects in SnippetObject to use it from some calculations and not for binding it.

If you want to access your ItemsControl in the UserControl code-behind file, you need to give the ItemsControl a name like:

XML

<itemscontrol x:name="MyItemsControl Items=" path="Items}"" xmlns:x="#unknown" />

Then use this name to access the ItemsControl:

C#

foreach(var item in MyItemsControl.Items)
{

}

If you want to access the ItemsControl from outside of the UserControl you first need to define a property on your UserControl and than use that property to access the ItemsControl.
