        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">

                       FontSize="16"  Margin="10,0,0,10" 
                       TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />                        
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>                
</DataTemplate>

<GridView x:Name="TextTileListFolderGrid" 
          VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
          CanReorderItems="True" CanDragItems="True" 
          ItemTemplate="{StaticResource TextTileListFolderTemplate}">
