portable-class-library

I am trying to use System.Net.Sockets API in a portable class library so that my projects can reuse code for socket connections. But I cannot reference that namespace in my code. As I understand it, PCLs limit you to assemblies that are available on all targeted platforms. But I am targeting ios, Android, and .Net 4.5 (using Xamarin), and all of these should have the system.dll assembly that contains the API. What am I missing? As it is right now, there is no PCL profile targeting only .NET Framework (4/4.03/4.5/4.5.1) Xamarin.Android Xamarin.iOS If you for example attempt to define a Portable

Following from How can I build a targetting pack for Portable Class Libraries? and the advice in http://jpobst.blogspot.com/2012/04/mono-for-android-portable-libraries-in.html I've managed to build some monodroid example programs which use Portable Class Libraries. However, if any of my input PCLs reference the System.Net assembly, then monodroid fails to package my apk - because it complains about File Not Found for System.Net.dll. As I understand it (from http://docs.xamarin.com/android/about/assemblies ), MonoDroid bundles all the System.Net functionality inside System.dll. Is there any way

I updated to latest version of Xamarin, where PCL is "fully supported". How can i use Azure Mobile Services now? if i create PCL lib and trying to add it with NuGet it failed to install "Newtonsoft.Json 5.0.8" because it needs "portable-net45+wp80+MonoAndroid10+MonoTouch10" which is missing. if i create simple android lib and add Azure from components it's generate excepton: System.InvalidOperationException: A Windows Azure Mobile Services assembly for the current platform was not found.

Hi I need to know the density of screen in windows 10/8/8.1 and iOS. I got screen density in Android using DisplayMetrics but I find no such option/property available in UWP and iOS. So Is there any property through which I can get screen density in UWP and IOS. Matthew Regul UPDATE - June 8th 2018 Xamarin has released Xamarin.Essentials! Xamarin.Essentials provides developers with cross-platform APIs for their mobile applications. Android, iOS, and UWP offer unique operating system and platform APIs that developers have access to all in C# leveraging Xamarin. Xamarin.Essentials provides a

I would like to store an API key in a configuration file without checking it into source control, and read the data in my UWP app. A common solution is to store the key in .config file (such as app.config or web.config ) and access it like so: var apiKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("apiKey"); I'm working on a Universal Windows (UWP) app and can't access the System.Configuration namespace that holds ConfigurationManager . How can I access AppSettings in UWP app? Alternatively, what's the best way to access configuration data in an UWP app? Amadeusz Wieczorek In my specific use case I

I know the question has been asked before but none of the suggested resolutions are working for me so I'm going to ask it again and hopefully get new suggestions. Some of the articles I've read: VS .Net References with yellow triangle Why do I get a warning icon when I add a reference to an MEF plugin project? The exclamation mark in the yellow triangle icon (inside Solution Explorer) My 5 portable libraries are definitely all targeting the same frameworks (I've checked and re-checked as this was one of the suggestions!): .NET Framework 4.5 ASP.NET Core 1.0 Windows Phone 8 Windows Phone 8.1
