clickable-image

Hello, I am a seasoned C and Java programmer, but an absolute WPF newbie.

I am creating a kiosk application that will display a list of images of products that the user will click to see product details and maybe place an order.

I am trying to structure my app with MVVM Foundation because I am used to the benefits of structure and tests.

I wonder what is the most natural way to create a grid of clickable images that will fill the screen left to right, top to bottom (or the other way round, I have no exact requirements).

Any image should be bound to an object that will become current and be displayed in the next screen. Thanks for your help.
