Is there a way to develop C#/.NET on Android devices?

I don't have an experience with mobile applications and as a .Net developer I would like to ask if it is possible to develop Android applications with C#?

If yes, does this mean I can use Visual Studio for this purpose?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a commercial framework called MonoDroid created for this purpose. It appears to support Visual Studio 2010.

The iOS alternative, MonoTouch, is restricted to Mac usage I believe.

To be honest, it looks like it has recently been farmed off to another supplier and the prices have jumped... I'd be hesitant before buying in and I'd likely try and learn Java/Objective-C instead - unless I knew I was going to make squillions!
