title: Proximity tap in WPF
body: <p>I'm trying to detect nearby devices using NFC or RFID from within a WPF application.</p>
  
  <p>Microsoft's proximity API seems to be the right way to go:
  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh465221.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh465221.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I see no way to get it running inside a WPF application (or any other Desktop Technology that is). All examples refer to Microsoft store apps only.</p>
  
  <p>From within a WPF application I cannot reference the Namespace </p>
  
  <pre><code>using Windows.Networking.Proximity;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it just a reference that I am missing? Is it possible to use the proximity API from a WPF application at all?</p>
