DeviceExtendedProperties in C# - Microsoft.Phone.Info name space

Question

On Windows Phone 8.1, in an C# project, I want to get the device ID via -> DeviceExtendedProperties So I might want to do it like

using Microsoft.Phone.Info;
DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");

or

Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");

The problem is, either way didn't compile, I don't know what I'm missing. It says it was supported in WP8.1

This is the error when I use the name space at the top of the file:

using Microsoft.Phone.Info;

error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Phone' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Same error when I call the function directly

Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");

If you would like to get useful answers it helps to actually be very thorough when asking your question. A phrase like "didn't pass compile" does not inform us about what the problem is. Please make sure you add the full text of the error to your question. — Alex, Apr 11 '15 at 01:14
