How to add neutral packages to PCL project?
USMember ✭
Hey there.
I've been trying to consume a WCF Web Service in my portable project. So far I've found out that I need to add a few assembly references to do so.
Now, I'm suppose to add a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization and to System.ComponentModel.Web (I'm not sure about this last one, but, anyway)
So, as far as I know, I should go to the References folder, right-click it, and "Edit References..."
There is no items at all in the list for the portable project (including the mentioned one, of course)
This does work when I try it in the .iOS or .Droid project. Do I have to add it there, and then wrap them in an interface? If that is the case, I've heard of it, but I don't know how to do it, could you provide some material for studying?
I'm not convinced that it would be the case, because I've downloaded the TodoWCF material-source and in that solution the portable project does have a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization - I just don't understand how they managed to do it (without cheating)

Did you look at how to consume wcf service in Xamarin.Forms PCL forum post? Some PCL profiles support WCF and some do not. There is an example project linked in that forum post you could look at.
It doesn't seem like the issues are related. But I was already running under profile 78
