Enabling ScrollViewer HorizontalSnapPoints with bindable collection

I'm trying to create a similar experience as in the ScrollViewerSample from the Windows 8 SDK samples to be able to snap to the items inside a ScrollViewer when scrolling left and right. The implementation from the sample (which works) is like this:

<ScrollViewer x:Name="scrollViewer" Width="480" Height="270"
              HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
              VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" 
              ZoomMode="Disabled" HorizontalSnapPointsType="Mandatory">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a cliff" Source="images/cliff.jpg" Stretch="None"  HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of Grapes" Source="images/grapes.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of Mount Rainier" Source="images/Rainier.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a sunset" Source="images/sunset.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a valley" Source="images/valley.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
    </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

The only difference with my desired implementation is that I don't want a StackPanel with items inside, but something I can bind to. I am trying to accomplish this with an ItemsControl, but for some reason the Snap behavior does not kick in:

<ScrollViewer x:Name="scrollViewer" Width="480" Height="270"
              HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
              VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" 
              ZoomMode="Disabled" HorizontalSnapPointsType="Mandatory">
    <ItemsControl>
        <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a cliff" Source="images/cliff.jpg" Stretch="None"  HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of Grapes" Source="images/grapes.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of Mount Rainier" Source="images/Rainier.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a sunset" Source="images/sunset.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Image Width="480" Height="270" AutomationProperties.Name="Image of a valley" Source="images/valley.jpg" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
    </ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to Denis, I ended up using the following Style on the ItemsControl and removed the ScrollViewer and inline ItemsPanelTemplate altogether:

<Style x:Key="ItemsControlStyle" TargetType="ItemsControl">
    <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ItemsControl">
                <ScrollViewer Style="{StaticResource HorizontalScrollViewerStyle}" HorizontalSnapPointsType="Mandatory">
                    <ItemsPresenter />
                </ScrollViewer>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

Solution

Getting snap points to work for bound collections can be tricky. For snap points to work immediate child of ScrollViewer should implement IScrollSnapPointsInfo interface. ItemsControl doesn't implement IScrollSnapPointsInfo and consequently you wouldn't see snapping behaviour.

To work around this issue you got couple options:

Create custom class derived from ItemsControl and implement IScrollSnapPointsInfo interface.
Create custom style for items control and set HorizontalSnapPointsType property on ScrollViewer inside the style.

I've implemented former approach and can confirm that it works, but in your case custom style could be a better choice.
