How to register a routed event when creating a custom control if there is no EventManager class?

Question

WPF

Good day!
I started creating a control for my Windows Store application and ran into the problem of missing the EventManager class when trying to register a routed event.
How can I register an event? Is this class being replaced by something else? Or is there a completely different approach to this?
Thank you in advance.

You can't declare a custom routed event for Windows Runtime; routed events are limited to the set that comes from the Windows Runtime.

And there are plenty of such bummers, like the lack of routing events or DynamicResource. And then Microsoft wonders why everyone hates WinRT so much.
