This MSDN page has some good information on it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br230302(v=vs.110).aspx, though it's comprehensive, and not concise. This here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br230232(v=vs.110).aspx is a listing of all the available namespaces and types (many are missing or added). I know that if you're using VS11, you can create a Portable Class Library to target different frameworks (much like the plans in LUCENENET-167 and LUCENENET-411). If you selected the .NET for Metro Style Apps alone, I currently get 637 errors.
Here are the main classes/namespaces missing: -- System.SerializableAttribute -- System.NonSerializedAttribute -- System.ApplicationException -- System.Collection.ArrayList -- System.Converter -- System.Security.Cryptography -- System.IO.DirectoryInfo -- System.IO.FileInfo -- System.IO.FileAccess -- System.IO.FileStream -- System.Collections.Hashtable -- System.IClonable -- System.STAThreadAttribute -- System.SystemException -- System.Threading.ThreadPriority -- System.Threading.ThreadStart These are some hefty changes. The largest change is the loss of the serializable attribute. I'm actually not terribly familiar with the PCL, so I'm not sure if there's a conditional way to include things, or if preprocessor commands would be necessary.
