一個基于VS的開發者平臺,并支持多種移動設備類型
Resco MobileApp Studio是一個基于Microsoft Visual Studio的開發者平臺,用于開發多種移動應用程序,并支持多種移動設備類型,如Windows Mobile, Windows CE,Tablet PC, Windows Phone7, iPhone,iPad和Android.它包含了針對WinForms, Silverlight, MonoTouch和MonoDroid的用戶界面控件套包,以及其他高級的開發者工具,使得開發者能夠快速的設計和創建移動表格。所有的控件和工具都能夠集合到Microsoft Visual Studio中,開發者能夠很容易的使用程序語言,如C#或Visual Basic.NET.進入到熟悉的開發環境中。
Resco MobileApp Studio is a Microsoft Visual Studio based developer platform, which can be used for development of mobile applications for multiple mobile device types — Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Tablet PC, Windows Phone 7, iPhone, iPad and Android (Android support is scheduled for Q1 2011). It consists of suites of User Interface controls for WinForms, Silverlight, MonoTouch and MonoDroid together with advanced designers and tools allowing developers to quickly design and build mobile forms. Since all the controls and tools are integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio, they can be easily accessed and used from this familiar development environment using programming languages, such as C# or Visual Basic .NET.
