Intersoft.Crosslight Assembly

The Intersoft.Crosslight assembly contains a set of core interfaces and classes that serve as the foundation of cross-platform apps development with Crosslight. This assembly mainly comprises of base components and services that will be referenced throughout all Crosslight projects including the shared and platform-specific projects. It provides the building block for application frameworks, data binding infrastructure, ViewModel infrastructure, commands, event aggregators, dependency containers, service providers, and a multitude of built-in mobile services.

If you're new to cross-platform mobile development with Crosslight, start with Getting Started with Crosslight.

To begin building right away, read Walkthrough: Creating Your First Crosslight Application.

To learn what's new in the latest Crosslight release, see Crosslight 2.0 Release Notes.
