Help you with what? We haven't seen any effort on your part yet. Have you attempted this first?

You would really need to explain what it is that you mean by "make my project form portable application".

There's nothing special you have to do. You can copy your application .EXE and any .DLL's it needs to anywhere you want (including a USB drive) and it'll run from there, PROVIDED 2 CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED:

1) The machine you run this on must already have .NET 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5 installed. Otherwise, you MUST install the .NET Framework for your app to even launch.

2) Your code does NOT depend on COM-registered components that are not already installed on the system. Otherwise, you will have to install these before your app can run.

It's all correct, but a really portable application will also work on Mono, many OS, without recompilations. Please see my answer. I personally worked on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

True, but i don't think he's going that far. He never clearly defined what he meant so we can only guess.

No matter, that's the part of the answer about "portability"...

You can make your Forms application and you develop and test it on Mono:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_%28software%29[^],
http://www.mono-project.com/[^].

I would advise to start development on Windows and test it on Mono for Windows. You will need to keep your programming strictly in standards. Even though System.Window.Forms is not a standardized library, it is ported to Mono reasonably well. If you pass Mono for Window tests, most likely, it will work reasonably well on Linux, Max OS X, iOS (Apple platforms are most hostile to "foreigners" though), BSD and other platforms.

Good luck,
