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.

I was just wondering how I would put a download link of my windows form onto a webpage(I made in Visual Studio). I dont understand how I cant display it in a webpage in the first place, can someone explain?
Thanks
Using windows forms inside the bowser is not possible, the browser will not understand it, few years ago Silverlight was a promising solution which was not html based but can use some of your desktop skills, but it is not there anymore.
Currently there is a promising project https://blazor.net/ which is:
Build a Web UI with C# Blazor is an experimental .NET web framework
using C# and HTML that runs in the browser.

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 build android and iOS application using existing ASP.net console application. Below are my folder structure. My project is build with ASP.net and Angular 4. In my project app.ColorSelector is a startup project it contains the angular code.
Inside color selector folder.
is there any way to build the android and iOS.
Take a look at PhoneGap: https://phonegap.com/
That's one of the technologies that lets you build a cross platform app that hosts a "web view", which is essentially a webpage within a native app-shell. That way you can leverage existing code. Of course, you may need to make few adjustments, but it should theoretically work.

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 realize this may be a misplaced question on this forum but most other forums are less that useless!
I've been searching for tutorials on creating a Windows Desktop program, not a Windows Metro/Store app. All I can find is metro and store.
Can someone point me in the right direction for getting started on this? This is what I have chosen in VS2012:

I will eventually be importing an API but for now I want to get working on a GUI layout. Any pointers/clarification would be great.
If you want to create a Windows GUI app, you should use either Windows Forms Application or WPF Application. These are the primary two ways in which Windows desktop applications are created in C#. Note that the controls offered through these are different from one another, and the basic fashion in which the UI is constructed is totally different as well.
Windows Forms is fairly simple, and uses a visual designer to add controls to the form. WPF relies much more strongly on a complex markup based language, XAML, in which the UI is written in code. WPF offers a great deal more options as far as customizing controls and their appearances, but in order to use it to its greatest potential you have to spend a decent amount of time and frustration understanding how binding works within XAML.
