Dynamic RadioButton GroupName using databinding?

Question

Hi Guys,

Basically I needed to have the selection of a set of RadioButtons bound to the property of an object - and all inside a ItemsControl as well.
To do this I used a little XAML I dug up which changed the control template for a listbox that is acted like a group of RadioButtons.
The code for this is below:

<Style x:Key="RadioButtonList" TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Null}" />
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
            <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
                          VerticalAlignment="Center"
                          HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
            <Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}" >
                        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="2" />
                        <Setter Property="Template">
                            <Setter.Value>
                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
                                    <Border Background="Transparent">
                                        <RadioButton Focusable="False"
                                            IsHitTestVisible="False" Margin="5 0"
                                            IsChecked="{TemplateBinding IsSelected}">
                                            <ContentPresenter />
                                        </RadioButton>
                                    </Border>
                                </ControlTemplate>
                            </Setter.Value>
                        </Setter>
                    </Style>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>

This would appear to work fine. However, I am now finding that  for every row in my ItemsControl I am getting the correct collection of radio buttons but they all seem to belong to the same group as I can only select one at a time. My question is, using the template above, how can I set the GroupName to something unique for each row of my outter ItemsControl (which is bound to an object pulled from a database)

I know it would be easier to use a drop down and avoid these issues, but sadly I dont have a choice. :(

Thanks in advance
