[3.5.8] Windows Store Compiler Errors

[Ana]

1. Error
http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=9217.0

2. After fixing the first error, have to fix classes using that method, more specifically, PropertyBinding OnValidate method. Have to surround it with #if REFLECTION_SUPPORT as well

3. DataNode in ConvertValue method, type.IsEnum doesn't exist in Windows Store applications.

Also, I want to know, are there any NGUI features that I can't use on Windows Phone 8 and in Windows Store Apps? Besides, some methods for convenience? Cause after these errors and using REFLECTION_SUPPORT I am worried about going further along the project only to find out some things aren't supported on Windows Store and Windows Phone 8.

Wow, IsEnum is also not valid on WSA? That's pretty awful. I don't know why Microsoft decided to ship a different version of .NET that's missing half its features for WP8/WSA. Worse yet, they forced Unity to use their stripped-down .NET library instead of using Mono like on every other non-Windows platform. But that's how it is... Unfortunately when working with a WP8/WSA target platform you are effectively working with a crippled set of tools due to Microsoft.

The Reset() function in PropertyReference should not be commented out. It should look like:

1.         public void Reset ()
2.         {
3. #if REFLECTION_SUPPORT
4.                 mField = null;
5.                 mProperty = null;
6. #endif
7.         }

Then you won't run into #2.

Yes, that's one way to fix it.

I agree with everything you said.
I have no idea why they decided to cripple their devices.

So what NGUI features don't work because of the crippled .NET library? Data binding?

Everything to do with reflection -- so crippled EventDelegate (have to use SendMessage), no PropertyBinding, no DataNode.
