    I have a a windows application which works great written in C#, and I was wondering what are the steps to take to convert it to a mobile device application? Is the process just a copy and paste process? Or is there more to it? It would be helpful if you tell me what the difference between the two? Thanks in advance.

        Just tried it, groupbbox can't be used among many other controls. Is there something I'm missing?

            A mobile device usually doesn't have XP/Vista/Weven installed. That means that some functionality that's present on your PC won't be present in your mobile. Start your mobile adventure here[^] :)

              The framework is different - although very similar in many respects. You will need to research to see what controls are not there / behave differently, and the same for any other inbuilt classes you're using, and redesign accordingly. Mostly, it's stuff taken out, but there are additions too. Most of the stuff that's not there can be recreated easily enough with some 'googling' and some API calls.
