The StackPanel does NOT generate items. It's only a Panel, whose function is Layout only.
You're looking for an ItemsControl:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<!-- ... -->
</ItemsControl>
which, by default will have a StackPanel as it's ItemsPanel.
Notice also that setting the DataContext to a single instance of a class will NOT make the ItemsControl create any elements. You need to set the ItemsSource property to an IEnumerable (for example a List<MyClass> or the like).
//Window Constructor
public MainWindow()
{
DataContext = New List<MyClass>
{
//.. Items here
};
}
And no, WPF does not automatically read Attributes from properties. You can create a ViewModel which does that, or hard-code the display names in XAML.

@sheridan I keep waiting for [these](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21004225/643085) *"Ok, Delete all your code and start all over..."* kind of situations... :P – Federico Berasategui Jan 15 '14 at 15:49

You shouldn't have to wait long... every other mother here claims to be using WPF and MVVM and half of them aren't using either!! – Sheridan Jan 15 '14 at 15:56
