Dropdownlist with Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I want to create a simple Dropdownlist with for a WP8.1 app. I can't use the Listpicker from the WP Toolkit because it doesn't support WP 8.1 xaml as asked here and here. I don't want to create a Universal App. Is there really no possible way to create a Dropdown List?

You want to use a ComboPicker instead, if you're running WP 8.1 runtime.

Here's a quick migrating guide: Migrating from the Windows Phone Toolkit ListPicker to the new XAML ComboBox (Display a ListPicker in XAML apps)

<ComboBox Header="Combo picker" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
    <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
