Cannot use <phone:PhoneApplicationPage />

I'm developing an windows phone app for 8.1 I'm trying to make a side menu like Facebook does in their apps. I found this tutorial:http://sviluppomobile.blogspot.be/2013/08/add-lateral-menus-to-windows-phone.html

Now when I download the source code i see that the xaml uses the <phone:PhoneApplicationPage />

I have this piece of code:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
    x:Class="Membr2.BlankPage1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:phone="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
    xmlns:shell="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="using:Membr2"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

But it keeps giving me these two errors:

 - Unknown type 'PhoneApplicationPage' in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone' 
 - The type 'phone:PhoneApplicationPage' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.
 - The name "PhoneApplicationPage" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone".

I've added the following references:

The PhoneApplicationPage is found in Microsoft.Phone

So I don't have any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I'm very knew to windows Phone development and those references is driving me nuts... Anybody can help give me a better understanding?

Many thanks in advance!!

You are making a windows phone 8.1 application and <PhoneApplicationPage> is part of windows phone 8 Silver light.

You should use <Page> instead of <PhoneApplicationPage> because former is used for WinRT.
