    Hello everyone! I developed a name dictionary program using vb.net. Please I want to know if vb.net applications can run on mobile phones. E.g nokia, samsung etc. If yes how? If no, which programming language can I use to accomplish this task.

      Depends on what O/S the phone is running. If it's Windows Phone, it'll work. If it's Android, then you're going to have to redo your project under Xamarin[^]. [EDIT] Though, as I look at the site, it doesn't appear as if VB.NET is supported. Others, no. There isn't going to be a single project that's going to work on all phones.

        Windows phone can run either programs rendered by the xaml engine or display web pages. So if you have used Windows Forms in your program, its not going to work on any type of phone OS.

          Thanks alot for your reply. At least, it pops something into my brain. I tried what you said and modified the name dictionary using javascript and html. My phone was able to run the html page but it opened in web format. So, how can I make it run in phone without displaying as web application. And one more thing, I have posted many questions and to be sincere, answers given was helpful. I have tried all I could to vote for those that respond to my questions, and also to mark the questions solved. But I'm not able to achieve this. How can I do this? Note, I'm a newbie in this site.

            If you want to make your application specific to a phone, you have to go for developing for that phone directly - example, using Silverlight for Windows Phone or the Android SDK for Samsung phones.

              only windows phones will support vb. and as for nokia, samsung and all, depends on their os. for symbian there's c++ and for android there's java and so on... hmm...not sure if you can translate vb.net to other languages. but i once saw a web app for translating c# to java.
