Can winform C# applications run from citrix?
If the application is kept on Citrix server, can it be viewed in windows OS machines?
Will the same be viewable via iPad?

The only real issue I've seen with home-grown .Net apps on Citrix is the occasional problem with code access security.
Yes to all of your questions.
Winform applications can be written in C# and run on Citrix
Once you publish the application it can be run on windows OS via the Citrix client. It will appear that the app is running locally.
Right now there is a client for the iPad available in the app store. Using this you should be able to connect to your apps via Citrix
I don't see why it wouldn't run on Citrix. If the corresponding framework is installed on the Citrix servers, it will run on it.
I don't know about iPad, since I believe it has to be from the App Store, but maybe.
Of course yes to all of your questions, Citrix is only an environment.

Hello I don't know very much about the saas system, could you please tell me if a HR software made in windev could easily be deployed as a saas ? The problem is that it would cost a lot to deploy it, because each time a client is connected at the same time, it costs 150 euros (under windows licence). Could you please tell me more about the remote app ? And another problem is that when a client would like to print something, it opens a widows window which permits access to the network, and it is not secured. Is the only possibility to make all the windev software as a web software ? Thanks !
If you don't want to buy Windows licences for each computer, you can :
Generate a java application and run it on Linux, with some limitations
Transform you application in a web app and run it on a web server, with some limitation and some more code
Install your application on a Windows remote server and connect to it with Remote Desktop (a Windows application), but you need licences for connecting you to the server
For me, the printing problem is not a security breach.
We have a system which has Windows 8.1 store app and iPad solutions as frontends and a MVC web as the backend.
We have lot of clients and they prefer hosting the web on premise due to sensitivity of the data. (So no cloud hosting)
Each client runs on different versions of the backend and for those we provide according frontend version as well.
Eg: 3.15.5 backend we have 3.15.5 frontend iPad app. (Backend provides a download link to iPad app, it will automatically update the existing app in the iPad)
(We can't make the frontend apps backward compatible due to high maintenance)
But for our Windows 8.1 app also we have relevant versions but we don't know how to deploy it simply.
We can't ask the customer to run powershell scripts either.
We can't use the Windows store because every time we publish the latest version of the app all our backends need to upgrade as well. Which is not possible due to large no of clients we have.
So my question is how do I provide a simple download solution for Windows 8.1 app that can be operate by a non IT personal?
Is there (or is possible) a standard Powershell or commandline in Modern UI in Win 8.x?
It would be pretty nice to have this app "docked" on a part of screen only (for SSH, etc...) and other desktop apps still could be in fullscreen.
You couldn't do this directly. The PowerShell engine isn't available on WinRT. You might be able to do something like create a WinRT app that uses sockets to communicate to a service on the localhost that executes PowerShell for you and returns the results. That would require you to build that service and install it on machines. If this is for a Windows RT device that won't work because only Microsoft can install desktop apps.
I want to start developing/deploying applications for windows phone in Xamarin.
Is there some enteprise approach to deploy corporate applications or i have to use Microsoft's way with AET and Developer account.
Thanks for reply.
Im interested in doing some development from my iPad, and one idea I had would be to code from the safari browser. Does anyone know of a way to set up eclipse on a cloud-based server, so that it can be accessed from a browser?
I believe, you will need the following parts to make it work
The cloud server must be based on one of the supported Eclipse Target Environments.
The cloud server provider must support UI based on some sort of remote desktop - e.g. VNC. Be aware that many cloud providers does not allow UI.
iPad must support the same remote desktop technology. There seem to be many VNC implementations for iPad...
I guess the difficult part is to find a cloud server to use. Though you, as an alternative, could use any PC with an VNC server where you have Internet access...
