Xamarin offers a Visual Studio for Windows extension, however this extension is only useful for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android development, not for RhinoCommon. If you are writing RhinoCommon plugins you are free to use Visual Studio for Windows - when targeting either Rhino for Mac or Rhino for Windows - just as you normally would. As per my understanding Microsoft recently launched Visual studio for Mac preview and also it support OSX app development using Xamarin.Mac and also it support.Netcore. Instead of creating Osx app from scratch,i need to reuse the code which is available in.net winform project. Therefore, there are compelling reasons to use Xamarin.Forms to build Visual Studio Mac extensions: XAML is much, much easier to work with than XWT, Visual Studio Macs UI framework. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for developing Visual Studio Mac extensions.

Xamarin.Forms empowers you to provide the exact same experience to several systems. Using a place of UI elements abstracted from common mobile app controls, like text advices and buttons, you can rapidly develop a functional cross-platform UI. Xamarin.Types compiles these generic controls down to the platform-specific edition, keeping the indigenous appearance and experience of your app.

Also, you can effortlessly customize the handles to a specific look and sense for your app. Nowadays, we are usually thrilled to debut the Xamarin.Forms Controls Tool kit as component of Visible Studio room 2017 edition 15.8 and Visual Facilities for Mac edition 7.6. The tool kit provides the obtainable Xamarin.Types controls. In addition, these can end up being dragged directly onto the XAML editing surface to produce the handle on your page! Pinning the Handles Tool kit You can find the toolbox on Home windows by hitting Ctrl + Alt + A (Home windows) or in the “View” menus dropdown while editing a XAML file. On Mac pc, you can open up it under the “Pads” component of the “View” menus. The tool kit lists all accessible Xamarin.Forms controls, designs, and tissues.

You can pin number it to your workspace simply like you'chemical pin number the Alternative Explorer or Output window.
