Class Library Support on Nokia S60
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
This topic provides a list of unsupported types and members in Silverlight 2, and also describes behavior differences with supported types and members in Silverlight 2. Use the Help file in the Silverlight for Symbian Developer Tools Documentation to find information about classes, methods, and properties that you can use for Silverlight application development. This documentation includes the Silverlight 2 documentation and the Silverlight for Symbian documentation.
If you use an unsupported type or member in a Silverlight-based application, either a MissingMemberException or a TypeLoadException will occur when you run the application.

Implementation Differences
The following table lists members in supported types that behave differently on Nokia S60 5th Edition because of platform differences or differences between the Silverlight runtime for Nokia and the Silverlight runtime on other platforms.
Member |
Behavior on Nokia S60 5th Edition |
|---|---|
System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAll() |
A call to this method always throws NotSupportedException. This applies to all overloaded versions of this method. |
System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAny() |
A call to this method always throws NotSupportedException. This applies to all overloaded versions of this method. |
System.Threading.Thread.Abort() |
The thread is not aborted after you call this method. |
System.IO.FileShare.Read |
Use of this enumeration value results in an error. Use the FileShare.Write enumeration value instead. See "Isolated Storage" in Platform Limitations on Nokia S60 for example code. |
System.IO.IsolatedStorage .IsolatedStorageFileGetDirectoryNames(string searchPattern) |
Including both single-character (?) and multiple character (*) wildcards in the searchPattern parameter is not supported. For example, if you include directoryname* at the end of a search pattern, the search pattern is treated as * and the function returns all directory names under the provided isolated storage path. If you include *.* at the end of a search pattern, the search pattern is treated as * and the function returns all directory names under the provided isolated storage path. |
System.IO.IsolatedStorage .IsolatedStorageFile.GetFileNames(string searchPattern)New |
Including both single-character (?) and multiple character (*) wildcards in the searchPattern parameter is not supported. For example, if you include Project\*.txt at the end of a search pattern, the search pattern is treated as Project\* and the function returns all file names under the Project directory of the isolated storage scope. |
System.IO.IsolatedStorage .IsolatedStorageFileStream(string, FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare, IsolatedStorageFile) |
FileShare.Read is treated as FileShareWrite. |
System.IO.IsolatedStorage .IncreaseQuotaTo(Int64 newQuotaSize) |
A call to this method always throws NotSupportedException. |
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.CacheSize |
The get property always returns 0. The set property does not set the given value. CacheSize remains 0. |
System.TimeZoneInfo.Local.StandardName System.TimeZoneInfo.Local.DaylightName System.TimeZoneInfo.Local.DisplayName |
Time zone information is not available for these members. The output string is always blank. |
Members of System.Windows.Controls.MediaElement |
Some members of MediaElement are not supported. For detailed information, see Media on Nokia S60. |
