Visual Studio Tools Preview 4 for Tizen and Tizen.NET 3.0.0 now released

Samsung has been trying to bring as many developers as possible onboard to the Tizen development community which includes bringing C# developers as well. Hence, Tizen.NET was introduced last year to make it convenient for .NET developers to build Tizen apps. The Visual Studio Tools for Tizen.NET is currently in development and the fourth preview version was recently released bringing in a lot enhancements to building Tizen applications.
The update introduces developers to Tizen.NET 3.0.0. Most of the improvements is a result of the recent .NET core 2.0 Preview update released by Microsoft. This brings support to .NET Standard 2.0 and an 100% increase in APIs compared to previous releases.
Improvements in Visual Studio Tools includes support for x86 Tizen.NET TV Emulator Preview thus totalling the emulator support to 3, which includes x64 TV, x64 Mobile, and x86 TV Emulator. Developers now have the freedom of downloading Tizen.NET 3.0.0 directly through Nuget from the command line itself.
