Panorama Control in Universal Windows App

I´m wondering if there´s a way to implement the Panorama Control from Windows phone 8 into Microsofts new universal Windows platform. The look and feel of the Panorama Control is great and I really can´t figure out why Microsoft didn´t implement this Control into UWP.
Actually I´m new to UWP (Coded WinForms Projects, only) and I´m looking for some layouting Standards which can help me to create applications for multiple devices.
In UWP you can use Hub or Pivot controls

Adding Monogame to the existing Xamarin project

A Xamarin newbie here. I have recently started developing a cross-platform mobile application using Xamarin with Visual Studio. There is now an idea to introduce an application framework to manage graphics and animations, such as Monogame. I've looked at the tutorials and it looks like that I had to start using Monogame from the beginning, as I couldn't find a way to use it with an existing project. So, I am wondering is there such a possibility at all?
How are you wishing to integrate it? It is possible to instantiate a Game class from a button touch or some other user input. From that you point on you are solely inside of MonoGame until the game is closed. The only issue i came across with this is removing the game and handing control back to the main application as this is not how MG was designed to be used.

XBAP childWindow control available similar to Silverlight 3 ChildWindow?

The Silverlight 3 toolkit has a ChildWindow control for model popup like functionality. This is great. Anyone aware of a similar control that can be utilized via XBAP?

The assumption is maybe someone ported the functionality back to WCF/XBAP?
Trying to find a solution without going to 3rd party purchased controls (against current company policy).
Don't know that you'll get this to work without FullTrust (FullTrust XBAPs are a PITA until .NET 4). Here's a psuedo-workaround though- not as nice as SL ChildWindow, but it gets you basic popup functionality.
In theory couldn't you rebuild the ChildWindow source and massage it a little to work on WPF? Most of the controls are WPF compatible, so it would make sense to build ChildWindow for XBAPs.

bar graph in vb.net?

i need to take user input and make a very simple bar graph from it in vb.net. anyone have suggestions on an easy way to accomplish this?
You didn't specify a framework but I'm guessing that you're using winforms?
What you're looking for is a chart / bar control. By default WinForms doesn't have great bar / chart controls. This site has a breakdown of the various add ons Microsoft released for WinForms and ASP.Net in the area of chart controls

Agreed - you didn't specifiy framewrok version - web or windows app. But here
is a good free one for 3.5 framework web or windows apps.
I have been very please with ZedGraph for .net 2.0. I use it for both webforms and winForms.
