Re: [paho-dev] M2Mqtt on Windows Phone 8.0?

Thanks Paolo.  Seems complicated.   I don't know whether Windows Phone 8.0 (vs 8.1) will be important at all to support.

The current M2MqttWinRT project for Visual Studio 2013 is a Portable Class Library (PCL) that is targeted for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.

The Windows Phone 8.0 (Silverlight) project doesn't support WinRT (as for 8.1 projects) and it is a middle step between a .Net app and WinRT app, so some changes are needed.

For example, WinRT provides StreamSocket class and .Net use Socket class but in the case of WP8, the Socket class hasn't Send method but SendAsync, so I need to compile as .Net (not WinRT) but use SendAsync instead of Send; this is only one of the big differences.

I think that a new project is needed with a define like SILVERLIGHT so that I can tweak in the code the differences.

In conclusion,

now WP8 isn't supported :-(
