Windows 8.1 XAML - LayoutTransform

I'm trying to use the LayoutTransform property to rotate some text 90 degrees in a windows 8.1/VS2013 template.

I am aware LayoutTransform is not in WinRT XAML so I followed the instructions on igrali's blog for using Layout transform in Windows 8 WinRT XAML but visual studio keeps saying:

'The name Layout Transformer" does not exist in the namespace "using:Transforming.Common.'

Is this because I need to do something differently due to the changes in windows 8.1?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I found out how to do it eventually. I just had to make sure I had the correct name spaces above the style in app.xaml and mainpage.xaml. I just copied the namespace for common already included in the template into app.xaml.

maybe you can try this:

<TextBlock Text="Sample Text">
    <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
        <RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
    </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>
