GData API does not work with Windows 8 Metro apps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Metro app
2. Load the GData API
3. Compile

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to compile, but instead I get the error "Cannot find type 
System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter in module System.dll". This is 
because this namespace is removed from the .NET for Metro apps API.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GData 2.1.0.0 with VS2012 and .NET 4.5 in Windows 8 RTM in a Metro style 
project.

Please provide any additional information below.

im having same exact problem with G Data Internet Security 2013 and a Retail 
copy of windows 8.  None of the Metro or windows start apps connect or even get 
asked if i want to allow them to run.

then when can we expect it?

Security 2013 - IE 10 Metro will not browse to 100's of websites either.

@6 ehmm, we're not talking about 'G Data Total Security 2013', we're talking 
about the Google Data API... Those two things are not related at all...

I have the same problem, 
Cannot find type System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter in module 
System.dll.
And the environment is GData 2.1.0.0 with VS2012 and .NET 4.5 in Windows 8
Does Google has any action plan to solve this problem?
This issue was happened long time already :(

Nice to see Google "really" loves developers... One year and no fix? Thank you!

Just want to add another voice crying for a fix here... really disappointing 
that it's been over a year and it's still not fixed.
