I visited the Surface SDK and it says Visual Studio 2010 / Express is required for this. I tried to install it with VS 2012 RC, but this does not allow. Does the surface support sdk VS 2012 RC? How can I use it with VS 2012 RC?
Install the February 2012 SDK 2.0 update in a window with Win 7 and Visual Studio 2010. Then create a Surface project from the template. Change the main surface window (I forgot the class name.) To inherit from Window instead of Surface Window if you want it to work in Windows 8. Of course, you will lose the input stack for tags, etc. Copy the distributed Surface SDK assembly for controls to a folder for future use in new projects. You can upgrade a project created using Visual Studio to VS2012. Create a template from there. Hope this indicates that you are in the right direction. I did not do this after a while and I write from my head. -Mark
you need to reference the following ddls:
Microsoft.Surface.Core.dll, Microsoft.Surface.dll, Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.Design.dll, Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.dll, Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.Generic.dll
