WPF - How to Center a label's Content inside the label

I created some labels in a for loop on the behind code.
At the beginning it looks like that: 

private void SlotLabelCreation(string name)
{
    Label label = new Label();
    label.Name = name;
    label.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
    label.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
    label.Content = "[Free Slot]";
    label.Foreground = Brushes.Gray;
    label.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black;
    label.BorderThickness = new Thickness(1);
    label.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
    MainGrid.Children.Add(label);

    //the margin has been inserted later in other code.
}

everything was fine but when I inserted to the label other content which not contains the same amount of letters it looks like that:

sorry about the links.. it's because I can't upload images

I wanted to make all slots the same size so I added a MinWidth property to the labels.
The new result was:

now it looks better but I am wondering how could I center the content which inside the label.
Unfortunately I didn't find any solution to solve this problem.

p.s, HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment don't solve the problem.

Thanks a lot, Alon P.

You should use HorizontalContentAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment properties
