Unity - missing namespaces

Salmon

Hi there,

I'm trying to build for Hololens in Unity. It fails and I get a ton of missing namespace errors for basic .net dll's like System, Timers, Thread, etc, that I don't get when simply running the simulator. I made a little test project with a single game object and one-line script to narrow it down. All it does it instantiating a new System.Timers

When I try to build it I get:

Assets\Scripts\TestScript.cs(2,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Timers' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

zip file here if you want to have a look: http://puu.sh/rLp4v/76a2f78b21.zip

I'm using:

Unity HoloLens 5.4.0f3-HTP (64-bit)
Win10 SDK 10.0.105862.212
http://puu.sh/rLoPx/01b17a521d.png

build setting:

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks

@Salmon you will need to use UWP compatible .Net libraries.

For example instead of

System.Timers

try

Windows.UI.Xaml.DispatcherTimer

or if you are doing threading related stuff

Windows.System.Threading

Here is a quote from MSDN about .NET for UWP:

Note that .NET for UWP apps includes a subset of the types provided in the full .NET Framework for each namespace.

I've been having the same issue with that CS0234 error too!

Looking forward to the answer on this one...
