Inside a Portable Class Library, I've the following method which post data to a specific Url. The method works great. However I'd like to specify a more aggressive timeout (the default is 100 seconds). Considering that there's no Timeout property on the HttpWebRequest class from the Portable Class Library, how can I make sure that the call is abandoned if it takes longer than a few seconds? public async Task<HttpResponse> PostAsync(Uri uri, string data) { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri); request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form

I'm writing a library with intentions to use it in desktop (.Net 4.0 and up), phone (WP 7.5 and up) and Windows Store (Windows 8 and up) apps. The library has the capability to download files from the Internet using Portable HttpClient library, and report the progress of the download. I search around here and the rest of the internet for documentations and code sample/guidelines on how to implement the progress reporting, and this search led me to nowhere. Does anyone has an article, documentation, guideline, code sample or whatever to help me achieve this? I wrote the following code to

I would like to ask about a doubt I have concerning to Portable Class Library. I'm developing a DAL Layer and I'm using Portable project for my business objects, this project is target to .Net Framework 4.03 and higher, SilverLight 4 and higher and .Net for Windows Store Apps. I would like to implement IValidatableObject interface on each of my business objects, but even when System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations is available for the frameworks this project is targeted to, I haven´t access to IValidatableObject interface, is not available on the .net portable framework, neither MetadataType

I've recently added some custom Portable Class Library projects to an application that is built in an build server. The build was working fine, but after that it stopped working and shows me the following messages: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(983, 5): warning MSB3644: The reference assemblies for framework ".NETPortable,Version=v4.0,Profile=Profile136" were not found. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1578, 5): warning MSB3270: There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built

I currently have a Portable Class Library whose code is entirely compatible with a regular Class Library without any modification. I was wondering if there was an existing software to do the conversion automatically ; I looked into the Visual Studio tools but could not find any suitable. Before writing my own I just wanted to be sure! The differences will be in your .proj file. Having tried it myself you will have to do all of the following; Remove the <TargetFrameworkProfile> element Remove the <ProjectTypeGuids> element Change where you have #2 (below) for what I shown in #1 1. Regular class

I've heard of .Net Core .Net Portable .Net Standard .Net Compact Universal Windows Platform Portable Class Libraries All of these were explained to me as "a subset of the full .Net that allows you to target multiple platforms" . So my questions are What's the difference!? If I want to write a library that's usable to as large an audience as possible, which one (or more than one) of these do I need to use? (My specific situation: I have a library that targets .Net 2.0, .Net 4.5, and UWP. Targeting UWP required creating a new VS project and linking all the existing files, which is a huge pain.
