Answer 1

This should do what you want:

Viewbox x = new Viewbox();
Binding bnd = new Binding("Value") { ElementName = "ZoomSlider"};
BindingOperations.SetBinding(x, Viewbox.WidthProperty, bnd);
// ... Code to insert the Viewbox into the WrapPanel etc.

Answer 2

You can create the binding relatively easily in Code Behind:

var widthBinding = new Binding("Value") { ElementName = "ZoomSlider" };

_ScaleButton.SetBinding(FrameworkElement.WidthProperty, widthBinding);
