Multi targeting using portable assemblies

January 8, 2014

Overview:

Being an offshore software development company specializing in various application developments including custom mobile application development services, our team has been analyzing the possibilities of multi targeting for both Windows Phone 8 Apps and Windows 8 Store Apps using C#. The objective behind the analysis is to explore the possibilities of managing the source code for Windows Phone 8 Apps and Windows 8 Store Apps in one solution for the easy management of the same, as well as identify the possibilities for source code reuse wherever applicable.

Following are the potential areas for code reuse that have been analyzed by our team:

1. Have a generic model component built using portable class libraries so that they can be reused in different platforms.
2. Have a generic ViewModel component built using portable class libraries so that they can be reused in different platforms.
3. Have a project for Localization built using portable class libraries so that they can be reused in different platforms.
4. Have a project for Rest API consumption built using portable class libraries so that they can be reused in different platforms.
5. Have a project for SQLite consumption built using portable class libraries so that they can be reused in different platforms. Continue reading »
