How can I make a windows Form application which can run on both 64 bit and 32 bit system.
Till now I used a Windows form application made in 32 bit system to run on 64 bit by creating a x86 file. But I want to know that what can be done to make that application to run on any system either 32 bit or 64 bit.

It must be an x86 application, since a 64 bit program will not run on 32 bit architecture.

Keep in mind that you cannot mix 32- adn 64-bit code in the same process. This means that if you're using external controls and libraries that are 32-bit only, your application must also be 32-bit only.

A 32-bit application will perfectly run on a 64-bit machine, so you actually don't really need to change something. If you really want that the application runs as a 64-bit appliction on a 64-bit machine, then follow these steps:

In Visual Studio, go to Properties->Build
Select "Any CPU" for "Platform target"

Solution 3

sir as per my experience Any CPU doesn't work in all pc's. Instead use it like this :-

In Visual Studio, go to Properties->Select X86 Platform target.
