As promised here is a new screenshot showing what some
of the team have been busy with over the past while:
These shots are of a simple C# application written in the Visual Studio
2005 IDE. It is exactly the same application running on the Smartphone emulator
and then unchanged on the Symbian emulator.
A couple of things I would like to draw your attention to…
- As you can see, although the binary code
remains unchanged, when run on the Symbian emulator the application looks,
feels and responds like a native Symbian application.
- The font capabilities are coming along nicely.
- The icon that is being displayed on the Symbian version comes from the
Form.Icon property. So reading of embedded resources (primitive type, images,
icons etc) is working properly – and now that we have gotten around a
frustrating issue of having to write the image to disk before reading it, it
is much faster as well.
Current things that are consuming our time at the moment is improving the JIT
compiler, Reflection, theme support and building everything into a swanky beta
package for our first set of private beta customers. Exciting
times.
