System.Windows.Forms does not exist?

Question

Hi Im developing a windows store app but i dont seem to be able to use System.Windows.Forms. I have been looking for a solution online and most of them say to click on Project -> add reference and it should be there, but its not ? Does anyone know why this is? If anyone could shed some light on the subject it would be appreciated. Im using VS express 2012 for windows 8

Answer 1

System.Windows.Forms is not available for Windows Store apps. Windows Store apps in .Net use the native Windows.UI.Xaml classes for UI.

See .NET for Windows Store apps overview and Create a UI

Answer 2

but why you need that namespace anyway?
