I have been developing custom applications in C# and SQL Server. I have a new requirement where the customer wants to be able to access their application from their android or apple mobile phone too.
I need to know whether a desktop application developed in C# and SQL Server would have this feature or if any components can be plugged-in to enable that feature? Or if not, what would it take to achieve this.
I just need to be pointed in the right direction and I'll figure out the rest.
Thank you
Visual studio gives you the ability to build Native Android and iOS app using xamarin. It can solve your problem but it really depends on your software.
SQL, however, is unsupported by Android and iOS, if the database needs to reside on the device, you need to use another db, like SQLite for Android.
If the database can be a remote db, you can build an API (REST?) and access to it using this API

I want to create an android app for a project using visual studios(C#). The app is based on a computer system that uses mySQL for the database. Is it possible to collect data from the database and send it to the app and vice versa, if so please help. If not, what should I do.
The program saves sport fixtures and results to a mySQL database. I know it is not possible to link mySQL DB with Firebase, but there should be a way to collect the the info needed.
Maybe you can (I assume you are using xamarin to develop android app) by downloading dll or driver to connect to mysql server but this practice is very discouraged. Ask anyone and they will told you to use webservice to bridge your app and database. But if you really really want to connect directly to your mysql database, you can use this nuget package.

I have a normal desktop application written in C#. Now I want an extra mobile application that uses the same information / data from the desktop application.
My question is how can I make a connection between my desktop application and my mobile application?
Atm I got two solution in mind:
-Make a webservice to provide data for the mobile application
-Use a database where the application can write stuff and the mobile application can read stuff from here
What do you guys think?
The best thing todo is to make like a REST service for it. This REST services communicates with your database to get the needed data from your database to your mobile application.
In your mobile application you make calls to this service using httpclient to get the data on your phone. You could chose to save this data locally in an SQLite database ( so people can use the app also offline ).
Hope this helps

I want to develop IOT application in .NET. but I don't know embedded C. Can we develop IOT application using .NET languages?
Is it necessary to learn embedded c, c and java web services?
Check out: http://www.netmf.com/gadgeteer/
It's all based on .Net
You can check also out this Development with Windows 10
You can develop applications only using C# with Windows 10.
It depends. Do you need to write component-specific drivers, or are you planning to reuse components already programmed (that expose an API)? Do you want to provide a backend service for IoT devices, or do you want to program "the things"?
Anyway, I assume from your question that you are new to the topic, so I would say that until you reach the point of needing to write/compile C code you can develop and/or interface with most of the common prototyping boards via .NET.
You may have a look at the following links:

I wanted to know that how to do passively monitor network traffic using C# in Windows phone? Suppose I browse as www.facebook.com in IE then I need to get notification in my application. So, please any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Unfortunately you cannot access that level of information on Windows Phone. Windows Phone is a managed platform where each app is kept inside its own boundary.
Each time an app require access to information outside that boundary a specific permissions need to be assigned to the app. In Windows Phone this called App Capabilities and a full list of them can be found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj206936(v=vs.105).aspx
As you see there are a lot of things you can get access to. But low-level networking is not one of them.
It is not possible to break out of the box in which the app as executing and it is not possible to deploy "native" code running outside the box. This is actually the whole purpose of the app paradigm on Windows Phone, Windows 8/10, iPhone and iPad. By making sure no app can gain low-level access to your device you are protected from viruses, spyware, etc.

I have studied web development using Visual Studio C# for quite awhile. Right now I want to develop a Mobile App which shows a gallery of images, and also a search bar to search image.
I have two way of developing the App in my mind
First Way: Develop the web page using C# and make it mobile responsive, then in xCode use web view which I embed a browser in the app
Second way: Develope the app in xCode
I have tried different apps. apps that embbed browser do not seem to be as good as the one that directly coded in the mobile develop tool, because when you open a page there is the refresh, back button on the bottom. But by using the first method, I can easily develop an android version since xCode is only for iOS development
So..I'm asking which way is better and what are the differences between these two way
Definitly sounds like Xamarin is the perfect fit for you, it uses C# and can develop for both Android & IOS.
