winform apps runs on 64 bit ?

Hi Faisal,
There are two ways you can do this.
1)
In Visual Studio, select the Build menu and open the Configuration Manager. Look at the "Platform" column of the Project Contexts, and ensure that the selected platform for the project is x64, and that should ensure compilation to a 64-bit target.

or

2)

If you application needs to run on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, a good way is to configure the compiler to force the binary running in 32-bit mode. This will force any 64-bit system to run your application in a 32-bit emulation mode. (Project properties -> Build -> Target Platform -> "x86" instead of "Any CPU")

Otherwise you have to provide two binary versions of your application: a 32-bit binary and a 64-bit binary.

Please mark as answer if it solves your problem.

Nilesh
