I have a PCL, WP and WinStore projects. In the PCL project I have a class with this method: private async Task<string> GetIpAddress() { const string url = "http://www.ip-adress.com/"; const string buscar = "<h3>Your IP address is:"; var client = new HttpClient(); var data = await client.GetStringAsync(url); if (data.IndexOf(buscar, StringComparison.Ordinal) <= -1) return; var IpAddress = data.Remove(0, data.IndexOf(buscar, StringComparison.Ordinal) + buscar.Length + 1); IpAddress = IpAddress.Remove(IpAddress.IndexOf("</h3>", StringComparison.Ordinal)); return IpAddress; } When I invoke the

Is there a problem with using the TypeNameAssemblyFormat with PCLs? I have no problems using any other settings with Newtonsoft.Json except when I use this serialization setting. Here is my Json-related code: var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings() { TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects, Formatting = Formatting.Indented, TypeNameAssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Full }; var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, settings); var jsonBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json); return jsonBytes; When I make the call within the same library where

I am working on visual studio with Xamarin.Forms , I get the following Error: Exception while loading assemblies: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'Xamarin.Android.Support.v4, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken='.

I'm trying to build a portable class library that generates OAuth urls for other classes/applications to use. This class library using OAuth has to be a portable class library so it can work with different versions of a DropBox API I'm building. Part of this class needs to generate an SHA1 hash to generate the oauth_signature with. I'm aware that portable class library doesn't support System.Security.Cryptography, so is there anyway that this class can generate an SHA1 hash without that class? Mono provides a managed implementation of SHA1 for it's own mscorlib.dll (but it's not located in

Some background information: I am using VS 2013 I created a Portable Class Library (Targets: .NET 4.5/Silverlight 5/Win Phone 8/Win Store 8) I implemented the ICommand interface in my class named MyCommand . MyCommand.cs: public class MyCommand : ICommand { public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } public void Execute(object parameter) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged; } I found that when I attempted to reference use the MyCommand class in a WPF 4.5 application, I get the following error: The type

Edit: On the Alpha Channel Profile7, Profile49 and Profile78 seem to work. I'm working with the setup that was described here: Getting PCL, Mvvmcross, Nuget and Xamarin Studio to play "nice" on Mac . How do you make a PCL in Xamarin Studio with Async support work. I'm usually using Profile104 which is TargetFrameworkVersion v4.0 I tried the following combinations of the hree different v4.5 profiles Profile7, Profile49, Profile78 with the different versions of Xamarin Studio: Profile7 Profile 49 Profile 78 Alpha (4.1.10, mono=3.2.2) 1 1 1 Beta (4.0.12, mono=3.2.1) 2 2 2 Stable (4.0.12, mono=3.2
