Can delphi .net develope the app for windows phone?

I am Delphi programmer. I hope move some of my app on windows to windows phone. That lang开发者_开发百科uage I think can be easy to learn is Delphi .net.

I just wonder if Delphi.net supports the development for Windows phone.

Welcome any comment

Thanks

I just wonder if Delphi.net supports the development for Windows phone.

• Delphi.Net does not compile to the compact framework out of the box. There are some hacks to get it working though: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/33507. I've tried to do the stuff in the tutorial. It's a neat hack, but a pain when you actually want to get stuff done. So I wouldn't bother with that. Besides, Delphi.Net is dead.

• If you're serious with Delphi.Net, you should look into Prism instead. The FAQ on embarcadero's site says:

Can I build applications for the Compact Framework using Delphi Prism?

Delphi Prism will compile against the CF assemblies. However, there is no design-time support as the Compact Framework designers are closely integrated with the C# and VB.NET personalities of Visual Studio and not available for use by other language plug-ins.

Lazarus with native WinCE support is of course also an option. And that is full LCL use.

(though the LCL/VCL is less useful with small screens, it works nicely with e.g. WinCE controlled machines)

If you want to develop for Windows Phone Classic (aka Windows Mobile), Delphi Prism or classic Delphi for .NET are not an option.

If you want to develop for Windows Phone 7, you may consult Embarcadero for clarification, as their partner RemObjects shows the possibility,
