What is the alternative of Pivot Control in Windows 8.1?

I am migrating my Windows Phone 8 app to Windows Universal Apps. I am currently working on Windows 8.1 project.In my Windows Phone 8 app , I used Pivot Control to show multiple pages and for each App bar was different and in that when I used to slide the other view was visible. I showed different listbox on each page and the values comes from database. I want to do the same for Windows 8.1 but I found that there is not a Pivot Control in Windows 8.1. Can anyone suggest me any control using which I can do that. If possible explain me with some code.

Please help.

See XAML controls comparison between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 on MSDN.

Not all controls are available for both Windows and Windows Phone. Specifically, there is no direct analogue to the Pivot on Windows 8.1. You will need to either redesign your UI to use a different control or write your own (or find a 3rd party control) Pivot control.

Two likely options are a FlipView or a Hub Control, but the specifics will really depend on the details of your app.
