Hmm. What if MS made a .NET to dex converter???

I'm in the MS hating camp, BUT, I suppose they could actually devote enough resources to make a quite usable mode in Visual Studio that supports a .NET subset that maps to the Android/base API and then translates .NET bytecode to dex/dalvik format.

Oh, the horror...



Xamarin allows you to use Visual Studio and .NET/Mono to target Android and other platforms. [1]

dot42 focuses on Android exclusively and targets dex/dalvik instead of the Mono runtime. [2]
