WinForms in Windows RT

I have a WinForms application written in .NET Framework 2.0. Can it run on a Windows RT device ?

If not which tablet would run my app?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, the System.Windows.Forms is not supported in Windows Store Application.

    You can see all .NET assembly available on Windows Store App on this link :

    Your application may not run on the Windows RT tablet, but tablets running full Windows 8 will be fine (Microsoft Surface Pro).

    Do simple Windows Forms/WPF apps work on Windows 8 for tablets?
