On the Windows Store Apps Microsoft. NET is used instead of Mono. There is a special. NET version for this platform, which is not entirely compatible with Mono.

In particular some data types is missing and some other classes don ' t has certain methods, that the same classes does have In Mono.

To make porting existing games to Windows Store Apps easier, some of the missing. NET types is provided by Unity. In addition some extension methods and replacement types were added to make migration easier.

Types, provided by Unity include:

• System.Collections.ArrayList
• System.Collections.Hashtable
• System.Collections.Queue
• System.Collections.SortedList
• System.Collections.Stack
• System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionary
• System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary
• System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
• System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary
• System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
• System.IO.Directory
• System.IO.File
• System.IO.FileStream
• System.Xml.XmlDocument
• System.Xml.XmlTextReader
• System.Xml.XmlTextWriter

In addition to these a namespace winrtlegacy are added to provide additional classes and extention methods. Among there is:

• Extention Methods Close () for most System.IO classes (alternatively-can use Dispose (), which-available on both Mono and. NET for Windows Store Apps)
• Winrtlegacy.typeextensions have methods GetConstructor (), GetMethod (), GetProperty () for System.Type
• WinRTLegacy.IO.StreamReader class, that's compatible with Mono System.IO.StreamReader
• WinRTLegacy.IO.StreamWriter class, that's compatible with Mono System.IO.StreamWriter
• WinRTLegacy.Xml.XmlReader class, that's compatible with Mono System.Xml.XmlReader
• WinRTLegacy.Xml.XmlWriter class, that's compatible with Mono System.Xml.XmlWriter

The simplest the replacement classes from Winrtlegacy is via using the directive:

#if NETFX_COREusing XmlReader = WinRTLegacy.Xml.XmlReader;#elseusing XmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader;#endif
