Is it possible to develop for Windows 8.1 Desktop and Store App in the same solution?

I'm using this guide to try to develop a Windows App. I have a solution for a Desktop WinForm project that contains a number of class library projects and other tool WinForm projects. I'd like to build the same program, but with the new Windows 8 App interface for easier touch controls. But the two versions of Visual Studio don't seem to want to work together.

So, ultimately: Is there a way to develop both a WinForm and Windows Store App in the same solution with VS Express 2013?

Unfortunately, not with the Express editions. With the paid SKUs of Visual Studio, you can have a single solution with both products.

The Express Editions have separate products for Desktop and Windows Store development (Express 2013 for Windows and Express 2013 for Windows Desktop), and you'll need to use the appropriate product within each edition.
