Exists an equivalent of the div-tag in XAML?

XAML

Hi, how are you?

Situation: A website with a div and css based layout. No tables (good).
Task: Write xaml code that makes the same website, meaning looks the same.
Approach: It seems that the HTML code can be translated straight forward into xaml. There are only tags used that have an (almost) equivalent in XAML.

But,

how would you "translate" the div tag into xaml?
Do you think writing a customControl in C# that does the job will be a huge problem?
------------------------------------
HTML:
...
div class="example" ... /div
...

CSS:
.example{float:left;}
