Developers get the full slew of features such as Debuggers for device development (C++ and managed code), Device Emulator, .NET Compact Framework, SQL Compact Database, Unit Testing and other visual designers in an integrated developer environment.


Microsoft .NET Compact Framework

The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework is a key part of realizing Microsoft's goal to provide customers with a great experience any time, any place, and on any device. The .NET Compact Framework's managed code and XML Web services enable the development of secure, downloadable applications on devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and set-top boxes.


Microsoft® Silverlight™

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the web. Silverlight delivers media experiences and rich interactive applications for the web that incorporate video, animation, interactivity and stunning user interfaces. This includes vector-based graphics, media, text, animation, and overlays that enable seamless integration of graphics and effects into any existing web application. The team at MSIDC is responsible for bringing the Silverlight platform to Symbian S60 based Smart Phones.
