Is it possible to build Windows 8 app using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2012?
The app asks test questions. Two users answer by tapping on the screen, and they want to do it faster. I need to check who answered faster. I am not sure, maybe I should use multitouch staff here.
Is it possible to do it?
what is the best way of doing it?
WinApp applications developed with the WinRT runtime can only work on systems windows8, if you develop applications with net framework, its work on Win7 and Win8.
To make the application can use WinRT or net framework, you simply need to touch screens ... however you can assess who presses the button first with the classic mouse click.
Only if you install VS2012 on Win8 can develop WinApp, however for what you want to do I would use a Windows Application developed with VS2012.

Easy question: I'm new to Linux Desktop Application Development coming from a Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio Desktop Application Development background and am trying to make a basic GUI application in Monodevelop C# that has what's called a Tab Control in Visual Studio. I can't for the life of me though find an equivalent control in Monodevelop under either Containers or Widgets in the Toolbox and Google has been no help. Am I missing something obvious or is a Tab Control an outdated object, design wise, and has been replaced with something else? Thanks in advance!
I Have a C# Windows 8.1 project on Visual Studio that I would like to convert to a Windows Desktop application.
Is there an easy way to do it ?
Thank you
There is no automatic way. The easiest way is to create two new projects, one is the desktop (WPF) app and the other is shared project. Then move all the code that you can to the shared project. You might need to use a conditional compiling (#if).
Recently i came to know that Xamarin 3 got released and there a is beautiful GUI designer for iOS. But am not sure still for compilation do we need to use the Mac? With out Mac is it possible to compile iOS app?
Thanks,
Ravi
With invention of GUI designer for iOS in Xamarin, makes it easy for the developer to switching between xCode to windows. For compiling there is no need of Mac. But to run and see the output, you still require Mac - iOS build host. Also, Mac would be required to host iOS app on App store.
I have visual studio 2012 express for web, now I need to make a desktop app, need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop or is there any addon I can install on web edition?
thanks
You can create Class Library projects in the web edition of Visual Studio Express, change the Output Type in the project properties to Console Application or Windows Application, add any library references you'd need (particularly for the Windows application, as none of the forms stuff will be included by default), and go from there.
This works well for console applications, but I imagine you're going to run into issues with Windows applications. The project templates are nonexistent, so you're on your own for setting things up from scratch. The forms designer probably isn't there, or if it is probably won't work as expected. And this won't work at all for Windows Store applications.
It's a lot easier to just download both editions and run them both. I've been running Web, Desktop, Windows 8, and Database editions side-by-side for a while now without problems.
need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop
Yes, you do.
That's part of the limitation of express editions.
I have made a windows phone app, and wish to deploy my app on android and iOS platform too.
Can we use VS 2012 or any other tools for achieving the same.
I found the below link for reference:

Thanks In Advance.
I think the closest thing to what you're looking for is Xamarin. It will not directly make your Windows Phone app an Android or iOS app, but it will let you write code using C# and VS2012 and with the right approach achieve a high degree of code commonality between the different platforms.
It's not a magic bullet, but it's probably the best approach available to you.
