With the free Xamarian with Visual Studio does a Windows Developer using a Windows Machine have to buy Iphones, Ipads & Andoid devices to convert c# Windows into IOS or Android? When trying to create C# from withing Visual Studio / Xamarian it is asking me to pair a mac that I do not have. Is it mandatory to use physical devices rather than emulators? Thank You for this opportunity!
You do not need an Android or iOS device for development, although obviously building apps without being able to test them on real devices is not ideal.
For iOS, you must have a Mac to act as a build host when using Visual Studio.
For iOS, you need a Mac at least.
The Android emulators is OK for any other OS.
For Windows Phone 8, you need a Windows 8+ PC.

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 develop windows phone app for one of my client. I see there are 2 ways to do it i.e. Windows Phone Silverlight and Windows Runtime(Universal App). People are more favoring Windows Runtime but i also read that it will not work on Windows Phone 8 devices but Windows Phone Silverlight App will work. So i am very confused, whether to go ahead with Windows Runtime and ignore Windows Phone 8 devices or go with Windows Phone Silverlight and target Windows Phone 8 devices as well?
The most important question to answer is: what are the requirements of your client? If they demand the app to run on Windows Phone 8.0 devices, then there's no choice to be made.
If you can choose, then there are several other questions to be asked:
Do you have experience in either WP Silverligth or Windows Runtime that you want to leverage?
Do you want to add in a Windows desktop app as well? If so, pick Windows RT since that's supported on both platforms.
Do you need any particular functionality only supported in WP SL or WP RT?
Do you need any of the newer API's available in 8.1 or even 10?
Without an answer to the questions above, you can't make the correct decision.
To conclude, this is the marketshare as of Oct 25, 2015 according to AddDuplex. With less than 10% running on 8.0, I don't see it as a 'must target' version if you're app would be better of running on 8.1.

I'm using MS Visual Studio 2013.
i wonder if somehow can install application on phone(to use application on phone when user want's?
i know with ms visual studio can connect to windows phone, but how can install application?
You can connect device to the machine.when successfully connected, the device will be listed in visual studio.
From visual studio,select the device instead of simulator.
just deploy the solution
this will install your app into the device.
You can distribute Windows apps (I think this is what you want), throw the windows store.
Other methods are to develop ORM software or enterprise software.
Have a look here for more detailed infos.
I assume you want to deploy your own application to a test device.
First you have to make sure that you have installed the correct WindowsPhone SDK (depending on your phone OS).
https://dev.windows.com/de-de/develop/download-phone-sdk
Get a developer licence. If you are trying to deploy your application Visual Studio will give you a hint how to get one.
Create a project for windows phone or a universal app, something you can put on your device.
Connect your device and press "Start" in Visual Studio, the application gets compiled, deployed and started automatically.

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.

Is it possible to accomplish that?
How should I do that?
The phone specs:
Nokia N900.
OS: Maemo 5 (Linux based).
My PC OS: Win7
No, it has the wrong operating system.
You can use Mono.
You will need to write the application specifically for Maemo; it cannot run WP7 applications.
Look, you Phone OS is Maemo, your app is for Windows.
You forgot the Windows Phone version but never mind, it's not going to work.
The closest thing would be a Mono implementation, but there isn't one compatible with WinCE (or WP7).
