• How to dial a Number in C# windows universal 10 1 answer

I'm trying to make phone calls from my application. I'm supposed to use PhoneLine from namespace Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls;. But PhoneLine is not in Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls;, however according to documentation it should be there. When I add it to source code like Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneLine this and hover over it, there is a hint saying:

The type name 'PhoneLine' could not be found in the namespace 'Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublickKeyToken=null, ContentType=WindowsRuntime'. Consider adding a reference to that assembly.

So I tried to access PhoneLine through Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract', but VS says that PhoneLine does not exist in Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract eighter.

I have checked Phone Call and VOIP Calls in app manifest with no success. Can you help me with that? Thanks.

You have to include Windows Mobile Extensions for the UWP. Just add a new reference and go into Univerval Windows/Extensions.

If needed, you can find the following sample on github : https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/PhoneCall
