InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Research In Motion will let developers create applications for BlackBerry phones using Microsoft's .Net programming environment, continuing its efforts to broaden the capabilities of the devices.
The BlackBerry plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio lets developers write applications that integrate with existing back-end servers through .Net Web Services, RIM said Monday. The plug-in works with the BlackBerry Mobile Data System.
The new support will open up the BlackBerry developer community to include .Net developers and could make it easier for enterprise developers to build new mobile applications for workers.
