Grid.IsSharedSizeScope equivalent for Windows 8

Question

Is there any kind of simple (non-custom-coded) equivalent to WPFs Grid.IsSharedSizeScope in Windows 8/RT XAML?

I have ListViewItems that are divided into 3 horizontal sections and those 3 columns need to be aligned (to the widest width each) to all the bound ListViewItem.

Since that was for wpf I found a Metro solution to the problem. Ill paste the entire code in here. :)

<Page.Resources>        
    <DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1"  >
        <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Gray">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <StackPanel Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name1}"/>
            </StackPanel>
            <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name2}"/>
            </StackPanel>
            <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name3}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>

<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">        
    <ListView Name="MyList" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"  VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Yellow" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DataTemplate1}">  
        <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
                <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
            </Style>
        </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <ListView.ItemsPanel>                
            <ItemsPanelTemplate
                <!-- Here is the panel that will contain the items -->
                <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Pink" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </ListView.ItemsPanel>
    </ListView>
</Grid>

and the code behind . just to give a try did not use MVVM

Here's the cs

        List<test> li = new List<test>();
    /// <summary>
    /// Invoked when this page is about to be displayed in a Frame.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="e">Event data that describes how this page was reached.  The Parameter
    /// property is typically used to configure the page.</param>
    protected async override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            li.Add(new test()
            {
                Name1 = "Anobik1" + i.ToString(),
                Name2 = "Anobik1"                    +i.ToString(),
                Name3 = "Anobik1"                    +i.ToString()
            });
        }
        MyList.ItemsSource = li;
    }

and the class that I bind was as follows

class test
{
    public string Name1 { get; set; }
    public string Name2 { get; set; }
    public string Name3 { get; set; }
}

Hope this will help.

Ok and last answer I did not edit since this was a bit too long and wanted to show the entire demo i was researching on so that it could benifit you.
