Is it possible to create a Monotouch application in Visual Studio?

I would like to know if it is possible to compile a Monotouch project that does not have a link to any user interface library in Visual Studio. This project uses only the Monotouch environment.

I did some research and I read that if the project does not have a link to the Apple SDK, I would have to create a MonoTouch project using Visual Studio. If I can, I need a specific configuration to achieve my goal.

Even if your project does not have references to MonoTouch libraries, it is still a MonoTouch library project. Visual studio does not recognize this type of project, and because of this, you cannot compile code.

I wrote about this a while ago and how you can change your project so that you can actually use Visual Studio for development (although you cannot start the application) here: http://escoz.com/blog/developing-with-monotouch- on-windows-and-visual-studio

Hope this helps.

There is a Visual Studio add-on that can help. However, it was not updated. It also helps you write code. To compile and run the code, you still need MonoTouch and Mac. https://github.com/follesoe/VSMonoTouch

Update: As of February 2013, Xamarin includes Visual Studio support for developing iOS applications in its Xamarin.iOS business class. You can fully get used to Windows + Visual Studio, but you still need a Mac on your network to build and run the simulator.

If you are talking about creating a DLL or a library in VS.NET that you could use in a MonoTouch project, I think the answer is NO. For use in MT, the code must be compiled with MT.

The MonoDevAssist VS extension (the VS Extension Manager search for "monotouch") seems to work fine. There are only a few simple steps to follow after installation, which are described here:
