Give the FlipView a Name then you can reference the SelectedItem

XAML

<FlipView Name="myFlipView" SelectionChanged="FlipView_SelectionChanged">
      <Stackpanel Name="sp1">
        // Stack panel 1
      </Stackpanel>
      <Stackpanel Name="sp2">
        // Stack panel 2
      </Stackpanel>
 </FlipView>

C#

// get selected index/item
StackPanel sp = (StackPanel) myFlipView.SelectedItem;
int selected_index = myFlipView.SelectedIndex;
string name_of_selected_panel = sp.Name;

// set selected index/item
myFlipView.SelectedIndex = 1;  // any valid index
myFlipView.SelectedItem = sp1;  // or any name of an item in the collection
