Dynamically creating buttons in Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I created the application in Windows Phone 8.1 (universal). I need to create a dynamic button field. This is my xaml example:

    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

      <Grid x:Name="_root"
          Grid.Row="1"
          Margin="10" />

This is my code:

            _root.Children.Clear();
            _root.ColumnDefinitions.Clear();
            Size = 5;
            for (int i = 0; i < Size; i++)
            {
                _root.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition
                {
                    Width = new GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Star)
                });
            }
                for (int column = 0; column < Size; column++)
                {
                    Button btnTemp = new Button();
                    btnTemp.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
                    btnTemp.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch;
                    btnTemp.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
                    btnTemp.HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                    btnTemp.VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
                    btnTemp.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
                    btnTemp.Content = column;
                    Grid.SetColumn(btnTemp, column);
                    Grid.SetRow(btnTemp, 0);
                    _root.Children.Add(btnTemp);    
                }

This is my result:

If I used:

  Width = new GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Auto)

I get the result:

I need to fix these errors:

1. Enter the text in the center of the button.

2. Do not see the right border of the "4" button. Buton "4" is another wide.

The fix in your case is quite simple - just define the MinWidth of the created button as 0(the default value has some value).

btnTemp.MinWidth = 0;

I think this should help.
