Bind NameValueCollection toTextBlock - wpf

Question

I have ItemsControlwhich use template to bind data.
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MyCollection}" x:Name="MyCollectionControl" ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource MyCollectionTemplate}" />
MyCollection is type of NameValueCollection and The following binding does not work. It is populating correct number of pairs but TextBlock does not get the bounded value.
Template
<DataTemplate x:Key="MyCollectionTemplate">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Value, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<TextBox Name="CValue"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
mainWindow
string[] dataCollection=new string[5];
....
....
Student studentObject=new Student("1",dataCollection);
this.dataContext = studentObject;
Student Class
public class Student
{
public string Id;
public NameValueCollection MyCollection {get; set;}
public Student(string id, params string[] additionalInfo)
{
Id = id;
if (additionalInfo != null)
{
MyCollection=new NameValueCollection();
foreach (string s in MyCollection)
{
string[] tokens = s.Split('|');
if (tokens.Length == 2)
MyCollection.Add(tokens[0], tokens[1]);
}
}
}
}
What is the wrong I am doing when binding NameValueCollection.
Please advice me.

OK a couple of things, one you probably want to change your DataTemplate a bit since you are overlaying a textbox directly over your textblock, for my test I just changed it to a stack panel:
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"/>
<TextBox Name="CValue"/>
</StackPanel>
Also notice I changed to simply Text="{Binding}" since the items within the NameValueCollection are simply strings and don't have a value attribute.
Also not sure if this was just another typo, but this:
foreach (string s in MyCollection)
{
string[] tokens = s.Split('|');
if (tokens.Length == 2)
MyCollection.Add(tokens[0], tokens[1]);
}
should probably say:
foreach (string s in additionalInfo)
{
string[] tokens = s.Split('|');
if (tokens.Length == 2)
MyCollection.Add(tokens[0], tokens[1]);
}
otherwise you are just iterating over an empty collection.
