How to display a data grid in Windows 8? - windows-8

Which is the simplest way to display a data grid in Windows 8?
For example:
NAME SURNAME BIRTHDATE
John Nime 17NOV04
Mary Kalas 28NOV06
Dinio Fransen 17NOV04
The data grid does not need to be editable, just display the data.
Thank you

But before doing anything review answer for this question on SO.

There is no data grid in windows 8 apps, but there is Grid View or List View control.
