[MonoTouch] How about using Visual Studio with MonoTouch?

[akihiro uehara]

Thanks,

Yes, of course I build and test on Mac.
I just want to show that I can use Visual Studio as an text editor in
monotouch app development.

I used MonoDevelop for a days, well... I still prefer VS as an text
editor for some reasons.
I made a Makefile generator from VS project file to build a monotouch
app. It is even possible to make a MonoDevelop project files generator
from VS project files, however I still making MonoDevelop project
files manually,  because my small project that has a only few code
files does not need such tool.

I am interested in "mock" dlls that prosser pointed out, because it
may make testing app on any platform enable.

Bye,
