Windows Phone 8: FAQ

Why am I getting errors like “type Foo.Bar doesn’t exist in target framework”?

It’s because Windows Phone 8 uses a different flavor of .NET called .NET for Windows Phone which is missing some of the types available on other platforms. You’ll have to either replace these types with different ones or implement them yourself.
