Answer 1

Have you looked in the "common" folder of the default solution templates? IIRC there is a control named something like ColumnTextBlock (or something similar) in there that does this for you. If it isn't in the default template you use, try creating a new grid application and look in there - it gets used in the item detail XAML page.
