The Visual WebGui Mobile Team is intensively working on the dedicated Visual WebGui Mobile Framework to enable existing .NET skills to be leveraged for HTML5-based mobile apps. First preview release is due towards the second half of January 2012.
The preview will be accompanied by a mobile email application demo (iPhone look & feel) developed with the frameworkâs preview. The preview version will support gestures and animations in transitions and will include the following designated mobile controls:
- ListView
- TreeView
- Toolstrip
- TabControl
- TextBoxButton
- RadioButton
- Panel
- Label
The next framework version is expected in the beginning of Q2 2012 which will be another phase in fulfilling the Visual WebGui promise of allowing .NET development for cross-platform HTML5 Web, Cloud and Mobile within Visual Studio.
The Visual WebGui Mobile Framework will allow the .NET development paradigm for creating Form Factor and Device aware, browser-based applications that are totally secure and can use local device resources through PhonGap integration. This makes Visual WebGui the first framework within the Microsoft camp that allows leveraging existing skillset to develop HTML5 mobile applications.
Stay tuned.
