.NET for Windows Store apps reference: Where?

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I found the next page of reference:
.NET for Windows Store apps APIs[^]

I wanna do graphics and find:
Windows namespaces[^]

And something is like going wrong - there are so few types!? And that is all?
Where are simple shapes to draw?

But then i go to Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes [^] and choose Ellipse[^]

I feel like it is not supported in .Net, but wait - i see:

Quote:
C#
public sealed class Ellipse : Shape

And i have read somewhere on web it is supported by .Net and it also shows:

Quote:
Namespace
Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes
Windows::UI::Xaml::Shapes [C++]

The one (no C++) is .Net?

At the end i open .NET Framework and Windows Runtime namespaces[^] and it shows much more namespaces, but not all of them and their sub types should be supported or no?

I also open Roadmap for Windows Runtime apps using C# or Visual Basic[^] and then go to Quickstart: Drawing shapes (XAML)[^] and it shows how to draw shapes that i can't find in the reference!

I just need a reference for .Net Store apps.
What do i do wrong?

Describe your task. You can create canvas and put shapes on it. I did it for my clock app using C#.

What? I don't get what you say(
You can read the question again.

I feel like i can create Windows Runtime apps using C#, but without .Net for Windows store apps?

You use the subset of .Net Framework called .Net for Windows Store apps to bring C# functionality to Windows Runtime.
Windows Runtime (WinRT) is unmanaged, but C# is managed, how?
You use .Net for Windows Store apps types along with WinRT types and during execution .Net will interop with unmanaged WinRT types.

.NET for Windows Store apps APIs[^] shows types supported by .Net subset that you use alongside with unmanaged WinRT types.
So it is not only types you have by C#)

You can use any unamanged WinRT type by C# in this way.
