Hi and thanks for looking!
Background
I have been developing .NET Web applications for years and am fairly astute in C#, SQL, jQuery, etc but have very little experience with Windows Forms apps and no experience with WPF.
I am now tasked with developing a desktop app which presents a "tiled" list view of media (photos, video thumbnails, etc) to the user. This list must be searchable, filterable, etc. and uses an XML file as a datasource.
Problem
I can’t figure out how to present a tiled view of objects to the user and have it behave like the jQuery Quicksand plugin, which I have used often in web apps. Here is an example:

Question
What is the most expedient way to accomplish a UI, like Quicksand, in a Windows desktop app and should I use WPF or regular Windows Forms? Also, are there any samples or project file templates online that are similar or at least a good start? I have been searching but am not finding much.
Many thanks!

Since you presented Silverlight, look into Silverlight 5’s (four has it but its much rougher) PivotViewer Control to see if that is of use.
