What is driffrent between visual studio coding and xamarin coding ::

Question

i wanna ask is it same coding both of software

Answer 1

Both are IDEs, but Visual Studio is proprietary software from Microsoft (but there are a free Community version now), whilst Xamarin is a free open source IDE.

Xamarin (it used to be called MonoDevelop) are typically used with the Mono open source version of C# (http://www.mono-project.com/), whilst VS uses the official version of C# from MS.

Xamarin allows you to use C# on Linux as well as iOS, whilst VS just targets the Windows platform.

But, yes, both are highly regarded IDE's for C# - it is really up to your specific situation which one you should use.

If you are going to be using either C++ or VB as well you will be better off with VS. Even though Xamarin can handle some other languages - including C/C++/F# (via plugins), the experience will not match VS capabilities for those languages.
