How to create Recent Documents History in C# in WPF Application

Question

I am making a WPF Application in C# where I need to show the recent documents history (just like it happens in word, excel and even visual studio), showing the list the last 5 or 10 documents opened. I have absolutely no idea as to how I should go about it. Please help. And please be kind and gentle...I am an amatuer coder, and it is tough to digest high-tech talks as of now! :)

JumpList in WPF4 is awesome. This was all I needed to do:

<Application 
    x:Class="MyApp"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    <Application.Resources>
    </Application.Resources>
    <JumpList.JumpList>
        <JumpList ShowRecentCategory="True"/>
    </JumpList.JumpList>
</Application>
