ApplicationData using in Console with UWP parameters

I'm trying to follow UWP with Desktop Extension – Part 2 of UWP and WinForms desktop-bridge calling the processes and passing parameters. This example Console Program.cs code includes parameters string:

 string parameters = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] as string;

But the name ApplicationData does not exists in the current context, I'm trying to find out, if I've missed some reference or it is different version of C#

I'm not sure even if it is what it requires, but adding of reference Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract.windmd throws another error with Values:

Error CS0012 The type 'IPropertySet' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract

Solution

  • If you want to use ApplicationData class, please add Windows.winmd where in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\10.0.17134.0\Windows.winmd. Then add Windows.Storage namespace.

    Detail steps

    Right click project References -> Add References -> Browse(file type all file)-> select Windows.winmd
