Am new to WPF .Previously was worked with Windows 8 /Windows phone application developer. I created a List application using ListBox in WPF. Since i wanted to test the application on a touch device i tried to run it's .exe file on my Windows 8 Surface tablet. I could not run my application.

Can't I run WPF application on Windows 8 tablet? Currently am working & running it using a Windows 8 PC , Where it runs. Please provide any information regarding this.

Or how we can create my application's package so that we could run it on Windows 8 surface tablet ?

For the Surface Pro tablets, you should still be able to run WPF. However, the standard tablets will only run Store Apps.

  • my tablet is WinRT Surface 32GB. So what about it? – asitis Jan 03 '14 at 12:55
  • @asitis to the best of my knowledge, RT tablets will only run RT programs (i.e. store apps) – Paul Michaels Jan 03 '14 at 13:02

    See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13842592/can-a-c-sharp-windows-application-be-run-on-a-windows-8-based-tablet-well. Another interesting read is http://blogs.computerworld.com/windows/23194/microsoft-confirms-windows-rt-will-die. This make sense as there are some nice Atom based tablets that will run WPF desktop applications and they are cheaper than Surface RT. – Mark Travis Jan 03 '14 at 13:04
