*Unlike previous experience in using custom controls, we no longer explicitly declare the use of controls in cross-platform mobile development. This is an integrated feature of Crosslight form builder.*

Ah, that was exactly why I was asking that question, how you managed to have all the controls for four platform.
Could you please make a video how a control is used as “metadata” during development, let’s say iOS and Android and how it looks at runtime?

Hi Ben,

Yes, we do provide 80+ MVVM-enabled controls that spans over 4 platforms : iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and WinRT. The covered editors comprises of MVVM-enabled controls such as date pickers, buttons, text fields, labels, time pickers, and you can even add your own custom controls. For more details, see here: http://www.intersoftpt.com/Crosslight. The built-in editors for forms are declared using metadata definition; which be translated by the framework automatically. Unlike previous experience in using custom controls, we no longer explicitly declare the use of controls in cross-platform mobile development. This is an integrated feature of Crosslight form builder.

Cheers,

Nicholas Lie

Hi Nic;
I wasn’t asking if you offer templates. I was asking to know what components/controls does Intersoft offer to build the UI.

Just like you offer controls here http://intersoftpt.com/ClientUI/Controls , for example, I need to see a listing for Mobile development.
Thanks!

Hi David, Yes, we will continue to support and enhance ClientUI for both Silverlight and WPF platforms. In fact, we have just released new reporting controls. You can find more about it here: http://www.intersoftpt.com/Studio/WPF and http://www.intersoftpt.com/Studio/Silverlight. Cheers, Nicholas

Hi Ben, Thank you for your interest in Mobile Studio. Yes, we are going to provide templates that will work consistently across multiple platforms. However, it is important to note that since you will be building apps on a native level, the UI experience that Mobile Studio has provided will conform to each platform UI design guidelines. We are pleased to tell you that you can get a copy of Mobile Studio immediately at http://www.intersoftpt.com/RequestTrial. For more information on what Mobile Studio has to offer, check out: http://www.intersoftpt.com/Studio/Mobile. Have a great day! Cheers, Nicholas

I’m also interested in what Ben said.
And, would also like to know more about Client UI, mostly WPF not Silverlight (which I care less since the announcement of the cease of support by MS).

Thanks,
Dave

Can you provide a listing of all the components that Intersoft is going to have for Mobile development? And , are these components work the same on all three platforms?

Secondly, are you going to provide a global theme that same app “can” look the same on all three platforms?
Thanks!
