I've got a ListBox control and I'm presenting a fixed number of ListBoxItem objects in a grid layout. So I've set my ItemsPanelTemplate to be a Grid.

I'm accessing the Grid from code behind to configure the RowDefinitions and ColumnDefinitions.

So far it's all working as I expect. I've got some custom IValueConverter implementations for returning the Grid.Row and Grid.Column that each ListBoxItem should appear in.

However I get weird binding errors sometimes, and I can't figure out exactly why they're happening, or even if they're in my code.

Here's the error I get:

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType='System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl', AncestorLevel='1''. BindingExpression:Path=HorizontalContentAlignment; DataItem=null; target element is 'ListBoxItem' (Name=''); target property is 'HorizontalContentAlignment' (type 'HorizontalAlignment')

Can anybody explain what's going on?

Oh, and, here's my XAML:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <!-- Value Converters -->
    <v:GridRowConverter x:Key="GridRowConverter" />
    <v:GridColumnConverter x:Key="GridColumnConverter" />
    <v:DevicePositionConverter x:Key="DevicePositionConverter" />
    <v:DeviceBackgroundConverter x:Key="DeviceBackgroundConverter" />

    <Style x:Key="DeviceContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
        <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}" />
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />

        <Setter Property="Grid.Row" Value="{Binding Path=DeviceId, Converter={StaticResource GridRowConverter}}" />
        <Setter Property="Grid.Column" Value="{Binding Path=DeviceId, Converter={StaticResource GridColumnConverter}}" />

        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
