Transitions for page navigation windows phone 8 VS3013

Question

Hi. I installed the WPtoolkit and the
Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit is under the references in References folder and I still can't use thenamespace
Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll in code-behind file? How do I add transition effects between page navigation? Thank you in advance.
I also tried to add this line in the XAML:
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"

Here's an example.
Open a new project and select the Windows Phone Silverlight Databound App template (using this as an example because it has multiple pages already set up).
Install WPToolkit using Nuget.
In App.xaml.cs, search for this line:
        RootFrame = new PhoneApplicationFrame();
and replace it with this:
        RootFrame = new TransitionFrame();
In both MainPage.xaml and DetailsPage.xaml, add the xmlns:
    xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
and add this xaml before the LayoutRoot:
<toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationInTransition>
<toolkit:NavigationInTransition>
<toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Backward>
<toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="BackwardIn" />
</toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Backward>
<toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Forward>
<toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="ForwardIn" />
</toolkit:NavigationInTransition.Forward>
</toolkit:NavigationInTransition>
</toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationInTransition>
<toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationOutTransition>
<toolkit:NavigationOutTransition>
<toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Backward>
<toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="BackwardOut" />
</toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Backward>
<toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Forward>
<toolkit:TurnstileTransition Mode="ForwardOut" />
</toolkit:NavigationOutTransition.Forward>
</toolkit:NavigationOutTransition>
</toolkit:TransitionService.NavigationOutTransition>
