    Hi, I am using the Desktop Bridge (Windows Application Packaging Project) to publish my Windows Form application to windows store. I added this in the wap-projects Package.appxmanifest:

    <Package xmlns:uap5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/uap/windows10/5" ...>
...
<Applications>
    <Application ...>
        ...
        <Extensions>
          <uap5:Extension Category="windows.startupTask">
            <uap5:StartupTask
              TaskId="HelloCentennialTask"
              Enabled="true"
              DisplayName="Test startup" />
          </uap5:Extension>
      </Extensions>
    </Application>
</Applications>

    Then I was supposed to use this line:

    var startupTask = await Windows.ApplicationModel.StartupTask.GetAsync("HelloCentennialTask");

    But the namespace Windows.ApplicationModel is not available in this project type. It seem to be available only in a "Universal Windows" project.

    Hi Jon76,

    >But the namespace Windows.ApplicationModel is not available in this project type. It seem to be available only in a "Universal Windows" project. 

    Did you add the System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll and Windows.winmd for your Windows Forms application's References? In my test project, when I added them, the Windows.ApplicationModel could be available.

    Best regards
