    Hello,

    I can't seem to find any references about this so I'm just wondering if there's a reason why a bunch of function from System.Type don't seem to be exported for Windows Store UAP ?

    error CS1061: 'Type' does not contain a definition for 'IsAssignableFrom'
    error CS1061: 'Type' does not contain a definition for 'IsEnum'
    error CS1061: 'Type' does not contain a definition for 'IsClass'

    Is there anything else to use instead ?

    reflection API is different in .NET Core, you'll need to do something like this
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. #if WINDOWS_UWP
    3. Type a;
    4. Type b;
    5. a.GetTypeInfo().IsAssignableFrom(b.GetTypeInfo());
    6. ... etc
    7. #endif
    8.

    thanks Tomas. Is there any documentation on the TypeInfo stuff ? e.g. how do I know what's supported and what's not? because I have a lot of these and for instance GetInterface doesn't seem to be part of TypeInfo
