Is there a plugin for VS2012 that will allow me to view my MVC4 pages as in mobile device? Some sort of emulator.
thanks
If you want to create a responsive page/layout, I would choose a responsive framework like twitter bootstrap.
There's a nuget package, even if I would download the css and javascript and implement it myself.
It's quite easy to grasp and you can find lot of tutorials.
If what you're asking is a tool which can allow you to test and render your asp.net MVC app in a mobile device you can try opera mobile emulator.

I am looking to develop a Windows 10 Universal app based in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for use on Microsoft Surface tablets primarily. I have found information that says it can be done on this page, but at the very bottom of the page it says it is in beta. However, I can't seem to find anything more than that post. No updates, or documentation or anything. Does anyone know if you can do this from the PhoneGap app on Mac OS?
If not, I guess the next best option it to do it on a Windows machine using Visual Studio 2017 and Cordova?
Any information anyone has on this subject would be helpful.
Thanks!
No, I am pretty sure you can't build UWP apps on macOS. The reason is quite similar as the reason you cannot build iOS apps on Windows - you could build the JS portion of your code, but the problem is the fact that UWP build tools and SDKs are OS specific and unless Microsoft specifically ports them to macOS, they cannot work there.
You could use Parallels and run Windows as second OS, or use a build server to build the app in the cloud. Visual Studio App Center is a very good solution for you purpose as it allows you to configure a full build pipeline including UWP, iOS and Android builds.
You can actually develop a UWP app using phoneGap on Mac if you are building it using web technologies. (HTML, CSS, Javascript) But you can not build/publish the app on Mac, but if you have a Creative Cloud account, you can use Phone Gap Build to upload it to the service and have it built there.
So my company already has a long running application they've been using and updating for decades. But it's only ever been used and programmed for a desktop. It's all coded in Visual Studios in C#, which is what I understood is what's needed to use Xamarin. So they want to turn it into a mobile application now.
I was curious can I turn this Desktop application into Mobile Application through Xamarin? Does it change the C# written in Visual studios into something usable for iOS? Or did the C# already have to be set up to be used for a mobile application? Which confused me because I don't know of any phones that are programmed in C#.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I was trying to learn basics of xamarin. I came across Adding a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App and I was trying to figure out advantages of using it over normal UWA with PCL or Shared projects. Is it different from UWP, or does it offers more support from portability?
Xamarin Forms helps dev code once and deploy on cross-platforms.
For front end, there are bit different when you code UWP and Xamarin Forms. stackpanel and stacklayout these kind of UI element. MS is working on XAML standard 1.0 so in future we only have one XAML need to remember.
If you are working on windows 10 app, highly recommended using UWP. There are more docs you can read.
Lot of people using Xamarin Forms to create Android iOS cross-platform apps, and devs lost interesting in support xamarin forms plugins for UWP.
does it offers more support from portability
Yes, or rather I should say that portability is the only practical reason you want to use Xamarin (aside from you being familiar with the platform and not wanting to learn something new, but this seems not to be the case).
Is it different from UWP
As far as I know, Xamarin's UWP is just a UWP project included inside a Xamarin project, so it's basically the same thing.
The answer is: NO
No performance issues
No developing issues
Everything was converted down to the same assembly and run as you expected
However, if you just do mainly in UWP. I suggest not doing it on Xamarin, because the support of new toys come a little bit slower on Xamarin. Right now the communities are waiting for XamlUI Alpha
I checked AppBuilder in Telerik, it allows us to check the development instantly in mobile. Is there any IDE to use like that for developing mobile app in Kendo?
After some research from my side, Sublime Text 2 and Visual studio can be used to develop Kendo mobile application with help of Command Line Interface(CLI).

Hello I've an App made with iwebkit framework 5,04 that work good with IOS and Android. The problem is that with Visual Studio when I try the App with the simulator the topbar is trasparent, that an error because with the same code in IOS and Android is Black.
Any idea ?
Paolo
iwebkit is built for the webkit rendering engine whereas visual studio probably uses trident which does not display the gradient top bar. It is made using a webkit specific property.
It is certainly possible to add the right css properties for it to work with IE, but you should code in VS but test in chrome/safari for it to show up right.
