'System.IO.Stream' does not contain a definition for 'Close' in Windows Store Apps

Question

When try to build my Unity 3D project on Windows Store Apps, this error occurs

System.IO.Stream' does not contain a definition for 'Close' and no extension method 'Close' accepting a first argument of type 'System.IO.Stream' could be found

How can I use Streams in Windows 8?

• Members that cause confusion (such as the Close method on I/O types).

You will have to replace that with a Dispose() or by using a using statement.
