    How do i use the WinRTLegacy namespace? By default it doesn't exist in Unity. There are 3WinRTLegacy.dll files in the Unity folder, but which one should i use?

    Did you do the "Switch Platform"?
    Then using WinRTLegacy within #NETFX_CORE

    Hi,

    it depends on what you mean by "using WinRTLegacy". If you want to access XML namespaces in Windows Store Apps, you have to wrap it in #if NETFX_CORE/#endif. If you're talking about other classes, like collections (ArrayList is a good example), just use them like you normally would in your code, and Unity will make sure that your scripts are taking the ArrayList from WinRTLegacy.dll.

    This one has been added in Unity 5.0 (currently beta). It's not available in earlier releases.

    +1 on the documentation being confusing as it doesn't mention requiring 5.0.

    Is there a solution for 4.x?
