System.Windows.Controls ChildWindow for Windows Phone 8.1 - windows-phone-8

Is any replacement for ChildWindow from System.Windows.Controls for Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight? I need to implement custom popup window.

How do I show a page modally in a universal Windows Runtime 8.1 app?

I'm making a universal Windows Runtime 8.1 version of our app, originally an iOS app. I'm trying to find out how to display a page modally in the app.
In iOS, I'd use presentViewController:animated:completion: and dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:, but I can't find an equivalent in WinRT. I've seen the task mapping which only mentions navigation frames (they're the equivalent of using pushViewController:, which isn't what I want) and I've seen this question which talks about a ContentDialog class, but that's only available for phone apps, not universal ones.

How to register for Scroll Event on Windows phone

I am working on an app on Windows phone. I want to get notified when the ScrollViewer starts scrolling.
I see some example does this:
ScrollViewer sv;
sv.OnScrollChanged += ScrollViewer_ScrollChanged;
But the problem is I think the 'OnScrollChanged' properties is not available on Windows phone.

Windows Phone Runtime or Windows Phone Silverlight?
The Windows.UI.Xaml.ScrollViewer used in Windows Phone Runtime events exposes ViewChanging and ViewChanged events.
The Silverlight ScrollViewer doesn't expose any direct events like this, but you could try binding to the Horizontal or VerticalOffset properties

Windows Phone Tiles Page

I am new to windows phone development and i will like to create a page with buttons similar to the windows phone main page.
Something like this http://cdn.marketplaceimages.windowsphone.com/v8/images/b60e325c-ac45-4d7d-bdf9-f83762c23c90?imageType=ws_screenshot_large&rotation=0
Can you please suggest how I can achieve this?
You can either use the Windows Phone Toolkit (free) or Telerik Rad Controls (not free)
Both of them have a "Hub Tile" Component that allows you to create "Live Tiles" like those inside your app.
