Cannot Find Reference to Add to Project

Question

I'm creating a Windows Store app for Windows 8 in VS2012. I want to use the Location API, so I looked up that this API is in the System.Device.dll. I thought it would be trivial to add this dll to my project, but I cannot find it when I right-click [MyProject]->References and select Add Reference. I don't see long lists of dlls that I saw in Win7/VS2010.

This is a .NET 4.5 library. Where the [bleep] is it?

Thanks...

Answer 1

What Location functionality are you looking for? System.Device.dll cannot be used in a Windows Store app. If you want to track the GeoLocation, you can reference the in-build Windows.Devices.Geolocation namespace: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.devices.geolocation.aspx

There is also a Geolocation sample that you can reference. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Geolocation-2483de66
