Question

I created a new Basic Page called PivotPage.xaml in the Windows Phone 8.1 project of the universal app solution. When I go to App.xaml under the Shared partitio

Answer 1

Try this

WP 8.1 Universal Project

-> Add New Item -> Blank Page
-> Name it MyPivotPage.xaml

---

MyPivotPage.xaml

Change "YOUR_NAMESPACE" to your namespace :)

Then in App.xaml.cs

#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MyPivotPage), e.Arguments))
{
    throw new Exception("Failed to create initial page");
}
#endif
#if WINDOWS_APP
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), e.Arguments))
{
    throw new Exception("Failed to create initial page");
}       
#endif
