[Swig-devel] HandleRef issue in windows 8.1

[Emre Metin]

​We want to use c++ methods at our c# project. In order to do that we try to generate c# equivalents of c++ methods. Swig uses HandleRef which is own structure of .NET Framework. We do not get any errors if generated files exists in ClassLibrary Project. However we have to use PortableLibrary in order to support multiple platforms such as desktop and Windows Mobile 8.1. HandleRef which generated into PortableLibrary project and is used in c# files, does not recognized by the system and we get the error below.
The type or namespace name 'HandleRef' could not be found​.

Have you got any ideas or solution for this problem?
Thanks for your help.​
