Setting rows of ItemPanelTemplate UniformGrid thro

Question

Here's what I have:

<ItemsControl x:Name="InfoGrid">
       <!-- ItemsPanelTemplate -->
       <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
               <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                     <UniformGrid Rows="4" Columns="5"                                                  Background="LightGray" />
               </ItemsPanelTemplate>
       </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
       <!-- ItemTemplate -->
       <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
              <DataTemplate>
                   <Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="{Binding Path=BorderThickness}">
                   <CheckBox Style="{StaticResource styleCustomCheckBox}" IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                   </Border>
              </DataTemplate>
       </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>

The InfoGrid's itemsource is set to a collection called infoData in the code behind, how can I set the Rows/Columns of this UniformGrid through C# (preferably to variables not contained within infoData)?

I tried binding and using setters but the values don't seem to get applied.

You'll need to access the ItemsPanel in the code behind in order to set the columns at runtime. There are a couple different options for this, including navigating the VisualTree. This answer describes the options and the steps in good detail.
