stackpanel

I have a vertical StackPanel with two elements: a Button and a ListBox. How can I have the ListBox stretch to the remaining page height?

<StackPanel Height="Auto" Width="Auto">
    <Button Height="30" Width="100" Content="Get Content" x:Name="GetContent"/>
    <ListBox Height="Auto" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</StackPanel>

Note that I got this to work using a Grid:

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Button Width="100" Height="30" Content="Get Content" Click="OnGetContent" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
    <data:DataGrid x:Name="MyContent" Margin="0,5" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
