portable-class-library

I set up a PCL in VB, VS2012 and set it for Profile 78 (WinRT, WinPhone8, .NET 4.5). I don't have GetExecutingAssembly available on Assembly . According to this , it should be available to PCLs. The only method available is Assembly.Load() . Does anyone what I should do with this?

I'm tring to wrap my c++ code to c# with using Swig. If the output destination of C# files is class library , there is no error and succesfully build. However I want to support both windows phone 8.1 and windows 8.1 because of this reason I'm using portable class library rather than normal class library.

Here is a sample of my Xaml code so you can get a reference: <Label Text="STORE" FontSize="23" HeightRequest="40" WidthRequest="212" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"></Label> So to be clear

I've been having some problems when trying to compile the portable version of FSharp.Core from the f# source code . To help with this, I created some project files to be able to open it inside Visual Studio instead of having to use the following command: msbuild fsharp-library-build.proj /p:TargetFramework=portable-net4+sl4+wp71+win8 When I open FSharp.Core.Portable.sln from here , I get this very weird error: There is no such targeting pack for VS2012, it's supposed to come out of the box . I had this issue recently. It turned out that I was importing the wrong targets file at the bottom of
