Creating websites using c# and an android phone

Question

Is there a way to create a website or web app using c# and my phone

Answer 1

coffeeunderrun LOL... Same... I've also run both a static webserver and FTP server from my Android.

While I'm fairly certain that a .NET service or even ASP.NET MVC on Kestrel could be used to run a web app written in C# running on Android, I'd need to test it out to say definitively what the differences and / or limitations might be.

That said, I couldn't imagine attempting to do the coding, compiling, debugging, and deploying all within an Android phone.

C# really needs some powerful tooling to make it worth using and I doubt that tooling exists on something like a mobile device - for now at least.

But hey... it might be worth researching.

If developing on a full desktop OS and then deploying to Android, then these links might be of interest:

Answer 2

Hi! Could you be just a bit more specific? If you want use your phone as a webserver you cannot do that....
