C# copy from windows app to mobile app

Logan whitaker

So this is my first piece of software with C#.
I have the software fully functional and working as anticipated in a windows app. When i copy my code to my mobile app though all of the events stop firing. I even tried creating new events with the mobile app and just copying the contents of the event over. Nothing works.
The functionality of the app revolves around tracking the enter key stroke (this is built for a HHP windows based scanner). Right now nothing will fire the keypress event.

Is there a way to force the designer to recognize the event code? Or is it something more simplistic that i'm missing.

Actually i was able to get it to work. I did have to add the sqlclient reference but outside of that everything else worked. What i didn't know about doing the copy/paste method in C# was that you were required to reassign the event handlers to their control...
Once i figured this out and had them all reassigned it worked great. Production testing starts tomorrow.

Both APIs are different. Copying code from a Windows App to Web app will not work. Even though class names are same, their assemblies (referenced DLLs) are different. Your best bet would be to create a project, add all required references and try to copy code once module (method) at a time to see if it works. Obviously, you will have to rewrite event handlers and other control event related handlers and then you can copy the code.
