Strategies for sharing code

Xamarin’s Cross-platform approach

Shared C# codebase • 100% native API access • High performance

Windows-specific C#Android-specific C#iOS-specific C#

Shared C# Logic

Sharing Code - StrategiesShared ProjectsPut shared code in a “Shared Project”Reference the shared project from Android, iOS, Windows, WebAnd the source code from the shared project is included.Very flexible, can use partial classes, very simple, full API access

Portable Class LibrariesFor when you are designing code to be consumed by othersEasier to consume by third partiesLimited API access

Existing Components and NuGetsOur libraries support you with either approach

Powerful abstractions

Inspector and Workbooks

InspectorIDE support to inspect live applicationsMonitor your application liveExecute C# code against a running applicationMake changes, explore your application

Powered by Roslyn’s C#

Cross PlatformSupports Android, iOS, Mac and Windows

WorkbooksBringing Interactive C# to the next level

Learn by experimentation

Workbooks are live documentsThey contain Markdown textWith embedded C# codeThe code executes on demandAnd re-executes any code after you make changes
