 <Grid x:Name="grid"  Background="White">
                <Button HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Foreground="Black" Margin="23,56,268,527">Text</Button>
            </Grid>

 for (int j = 0; j < jarray.Count; j++)
                   { 

                            grid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition(){width=new GridLength(30)});           

                        grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition(){ Height = new GridLength(30) });

            }

Updating suggestion here:

you can use Grid Layout. Create a Grid in XAML and define Rowdefinition and ColumnDefinition dynamically in code behind and append to grid. If your xaml has Grid with name "grid" then in code behind you can rows and column like this. You can use loop for more number of rows and cols.

grid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition());
grid.RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition());
