Adobe Air and .NET

Question

Hi, I Adobe Air completly JavaScript? Can't I use a .NET language like VB.NET or C#.NET?

Thanks

Answer 1

No, you cannot use .NET languages for Adobe Air.

Answer 2

As the official answer states, Adobe Air does not support .Net languages. If you are looking for something similar for Windows desktop programming that does support .Net I would suggest WPF. The WPF Unleashed book is pretty good if you want to come up to speed quickly.

WPF is build into .Net 3.0 and 3.5, and runs on WinXP SP2, Vista, and Win2k3 and Win2k8 Servers.

Note: This was written when another answer was marked as the accepted "official" answer.

Answer 3

You cant use .net language directly in Adobe AIR apps (at least not yet). The best solution is to proxy calls between the AIR app and .net code:

Also stay tuned to Adobe's site as they can announce a plug in for Visual Studio 2008 any time (that supports Flex)

meanwhile you can use this another supported plugin
