How do share some general layout and content on all my pages in windows store apps?

Can one define a kind of "masterpage"?

Answer 1

Since you mentioned master page equivalent approach, I found a link and just wanted to share. Hope this would give better idea on this.

Answer 2

In a basic sense you define a model that you use to display data. You pass an instance of this model to each page. The controls on each page a re data bound to the model context. So you setup a template of sorts for that data and link that to the controls. its called MVVM. MVVM stands for Model - View - ViewModel. Here are a couple good examples:
