Back in June, Samsung joined the .NET Foundation technical steering group. Today, Samsung announced the preview release of .NET Core support for the Tizen operating system and their new Visual Studio Tools for Tizen. Visual Studio Tools for Tizen supports mobile application development with device emulators and an extension to Visual Studio with full IntelliSense and debugging capabilities. Samsung is planning to support Smart TVs, wearables, and other IoT devices in the future.
