Windows 8 Metro style listbox

I'm building a wpf metro style application, but for the start, page I needed to create Windows 8 start screen like listbox in windows 7 and .NetFramework 4.0.

I used Listbox and Wrappanel now, but as you see it's not clear!!!

Please help me to fill the blank cell.

VariableSizeWrapGrid does the trick :

<GridView>
  <GridView.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
      <VariableSizeWrapGrid ItemHeight="100" ItemWidth="150"/>
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
  </GridView.ItemsPanel>   
</GridView>

Example of result :

Use a WrapPanel for layout and you're done:

<ListBox>
  ...
  <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
      <WrapPanel />
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
  </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
