Nokia WRT Extension for Visual Studio

Create WRT widgets with your favourite web-authoring tool

Microsoft Visual Studio is a tool that enables development for wide range of programming languages, including HTML, DOM, JavaScript™, and CSS for web-related development.

The Nokia Web Run Time (WRT) Plug-in for Visual Studio provides features that enable the creation, editing, testing, and deployment of WRT widgets from within Visual Studio.

WRT widgets are small, task-focused web applications that are installed and run in the same way as other S60 applications. WRT widgets allow websites or web services to be optimised for use on S60 devices. Because they’re easy to develop and use, WRT widgets are ideal for driving traffic to your website from S60 devices.

What can I do with the Nokia WRT Plug-in for Visual Studio?

S60 WRT widgets use standard web technologies, such as HTML and JavaScript™. Visual Studio is a tool that provides development support for these same standard web technologies.

The Nokia WRT Plug-in for Visual Studio adds the features WRT widget developers need to develop with Visual Studio. These features allow existing WRT widget projects or widget packages to be imported or new projects to be created easily. WRT widget code can then be written rapidly using features such as Intellisense support for the WRT 1.0 API. Once the widget has been coded, the plug-in provides features to preview, debug, package, and deploy the widget. In addition, the plug-in includes the WRTKit library, which contains images and JavaScript code to enable the creation of visually appealing and functionally rich WRT widgets.

The Nokia WRT Plug-in for Visual Studio enables you to use your favourite web-authoring tool to develop useful, exciting WRT widgets that maximise the traffic to your website or web service from S60 devices.
