By default, the Windows Phone 7 SDK doesn't have a TabControl. It is a quite useful component already available in Silverlight and although it doesn't quite follow the Metro style.
Using the TabControl on Windows Phone 7 gives you better idea. Here is good example using tab control in wp7
<ListBox x:Name="lstBoxRss" SelectionChanged="lstBoxRss_SelectionChanged_1">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,5">
<TextBlock x:Name="txtblkLink" Text="{Binding Title}" Foreground="Blue" TextDecorations="Underline" TextWrapping="Wrap" Tap="txtblkLink_Tap" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PubDate}" Foreground="Red"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="Black"/>
<Button x:Name="btnOne" Content="ButtonOne" Click="btnOne_Click_1"/>
<Button x:Name="btnTwo" Content="Button Two" Click="btnTwo_Click_1"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
//Code behind
private void lstBoxRss_SelectionChanged_1(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
//Listbox selection change
// do your work
if(lstBoxRss.SelectedIndex==-1)
return;
}
private void btnOne_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//First button click
//Do your work
}
private void btnTwo_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//button two click
//Do your work
}

There is no TabControl in the Windows Phone SDK 8. The closest equivalent is a Pivot control. You can put a row of clickable text or icons at the top of a Pivot and make it operate like a tab bar.

Pivot control instead of a TabControl for the WindowsPhone. the Pivot control follows the design guidelines for the phone and looks and feels much better.
