Develop Xbox Applications Using C # and Visual Studio

Question

I am developing applications (not games) on the Xbox, but I could not find any help or a tutorial that I could use as a starting point for my project, as a basic template.

I have an Xbox Live account that I know is required to send the application.

I went through a lot of links like this

But he does not provide assistance in the following points:

1. What IDE to use (does VS 2012 work for Windows Phone or for Windows 8?)

2.is a C # language to use (I would prefer to use this)

3.Any basic application / starter template (with the latest SDK since I saw several samples that they don’t download)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You cannot create Xbox apps (360 or one) with an open SDK (XNA). Xna allows you to create video games only for the indie market.

To be able to create a video game for the XBLA store or application store, you need to be an official video game editor / compagny and in partnership with Microsoft.

Answer 2

Visual Studios seems to be used by most xbox developers. As for languages, if you want to develop applications for xbox, and not for games, you can use C # or WPF. Hope this was a little helpful.
