warning BC40056: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Windows.Devices.Bluetooth' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found.

Question

Hello,

I have a project on visual studio 2022 that I'm trying to build but it's showing me import errors that aren't supposed to be there. I've tried everything, looked for solutions, installed SDKs, updated my PC, but nothing. I've also tried with a PC running Windows 11 but I'm having the same problems.

warning BC40056: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Windows.Devices.Bluetooth' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.

warning BC40056: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.GenericAttributeProfile' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.

warning BC40056: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Windows.Storage.Streams' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.

Hi @The ArtistB ,

The namespaces you're trying to import seem incorrect. For Bluetooth-related functionality and storage streams in a Windows environment, the correct namespaces should come from the Windows.Devices.Bluetooth and Windows.Storage.Streams namespaces, not from System.Windows.

Best Regards.
