Windows Phone 8 - ASP.Net Master Page Equivalent - asp.net

Question

I'm new to Windows Phone 8 Development. I have developed ASP.NET websites before.
My pages (In WP8 Application) share the same headers and footers.
So what is the best method to implement a Master Page like in windows phone 8 ?
I've came across a few solutions that use Frame tag ; but they were not applicable.
Any help is highly appreciated.
PS: I'm using MVVM Light Toolkit
I came across this solution but it is a work around:
1- defining <ControlTemplatex:Key="Decorator" TargetType="ContentControl"> in App.xaml
2- in each page i want that template i just add <ContentControl Template="{StaticResource Decorator}">
Here is a little detailed sample:
App.xaml
<ControlTemplate x:Key="Decorator" TargetType="ContentControl">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="5*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="HeaderPanel" Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="4*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="BackBtn" Grid.Column="0" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Title}" />
</Grid>
<ContentPresenter Grid.Row="1" />
<Grid x:Name="BottomPanel" Grid.Row="2" Height="50">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="0" />
<Button Grid.Column="1" />
<Button Grid.Column="2" />
<Button Grid.Column="3" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
Now in any xaml page i want to embed that content template i just add the following:
<ContentControl Template="{StaticResource Decorator}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="5*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Text="Grid Title" />
<Grid x:Name="ContentGrid" Grid.Row="1">
</Grid>
</ContentControl>
