Application targeting multiple devices (Win 7 Phone, iOS, Android, Win 8)

I am working on a small hobby app - which would show some charts, and would be accessible by people using their mobile devices. I come from a Microsoft development background - have used Telerik, Infragistics controls in the past, and loved them.

From my research so far - it seems like I will have to build an app that outputs HTML5 for maximum compatibility.

I like the ComponentOne controls so far - http://www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/StudioiPhone/

I am also looking at the KendoUI (http://www.kendoui.com/) - I like it, but seems like it is all javascript, and I have very limited experience there.

Are there any components/frameworks that you guys would recommend ? Paid components are fine.

I just want a few charts that are 开发者_运维知识库accessible everywhere. I know I could use MVC - and design a different a different UI layer for each platform, but I dont have that much time.

Maybe you want to consider ASP.NET MVC and expose it as a web site, since ASP.NET MVC 4 will have explicit mobile support.

Also, if you want an actual application, you could consider various products like:

• http://www.phonegap.com/
• http://www.appcelerator.com/

it depends what type of feature you want to make available. Must of the HTML-based frameworks require JavaScript.

HTH.

Have you looked at Sencha? While I have not played with the Sencha charts, I have tried other widgets.

You can put together ASP.net MVC at the backend with Sencha consisting of HTML5 + Javascript

Stick with ComponentOne if you want to keep working in WebForms and aren't OK with JavaScript. They have HTML5 charts that work everywhere too.

If you are looking to move to MVC/JavaScript then ComponentOne has Wijmo too. Wijmo is 30 jQuery UI widgets including the same HTML5 charts they extend in WebForms.
