GridViewItem with height greater than its GridView height

Question

I have GridView with fixed width and height of items. But I want some items to exceed that fixed height to contain more data. 1 I don't want to increase height of GridView - this will cause decreasing of the touch area of other controls that lie under GridView.

Is there any solution? Thank you!

I understand that you want variable sized tiles in your grid view just like in the start screen? If so then this article should help http://blogs.u2u.be/diederik/post/2012/03/07/Databinding-to-the-VariableSizedWrapGrid-in-Windows-8-Metro.aspx
