Create GUI for RPi

Hi all,

I need to create GUI for the raspberry pi3 and I do not know where to start.

What I prefere is to use something like visual basic or visual studio.

I need advice of how to do it, I have seen that it exists Lazarus that can run natively on RPi, but it is supposed to work on Pi1.

Would you mind suggesting me which possibilities I have? Of Course, cross-compile can be an option, but I prefer no to make a complicated setup by now, so cross-compiling It would be nice if it is under Win10 (the OS running on my laptop)

Regards,

Miguel

You may want to take a look at mono, I'm not sure how much of the UI stuff has been ported, but that would allow you to develop in visual studio and run on the pi. You may have to build again on the pi, but it's easy.

I just checked, I was able to compile a .cs file on the pi, and run it on my x86 ubuntu box without recompiling, so if it is a .net program, you may not even need to recompile.

Just for fun, I copied that same .exe to a win 10 box and ran it without recompiling also
