I have made windows application in visual studio 2010 in windows 7.
Will it work properly in other OS version (like windows XP, windows 8, etc..)?
I have used third party DLL as reference for HID connection in application.
If there are c# controls which will behave differently depend on OS version, then please give list of them with details.
Thank you.
You should test on all the platforms you intend to support. Different O/S versions are, well, different (otherwise what's the point of them?), so you can't assume it will work the same way on each version. You may even find that things like the Service Pack version have an effect, or the version of other libraries available on the system (e.g. .NET framework in your case) can have an effect.
So, you should decide what platforms, with what minimum specs, you can support (from a technical point of view) and which of those platforms you are willing to put the time, effort and cost into supporting, for what period of time, and then plan to test thoroughly on all those platforms. And then repeat for each release of your software (so you might want to outline the support lifetime of each release in advance, so customers are prepared for when they need to upgrade).

As per my understanding, DNX (.Net execution environment) is provided to support cross platform web applications, which sounds good but it would be more useful if it were to support desktop applications.
Why would you need a cross platform web based application ? usually a web application/web site is hosted once and it shouldn't be an issue to host it on IIS on a windows machine. Is there something with DNX that I am completely missing or is it somewhat useful for desktop/console based applications as well.
What if you had a web-based application that you intended to run on both embedded devices like a Raspberry Pi as well as more conventional servers? The Pi may not be able to run a full Windows installation and thus may need to run Mono or some alternative solution.
The idea of a previous place was to have a self-configured, low power solution for doing some tracking through RFID. The embedded devices would have to have a scaled down version of the system but be able to synchronize with the bigger systems as there could be various reports and other data to be generated on the big servers in the overall system. Imagine tracking wildlife or a big farmer's field with various sensors that could report the data that then has to get sent up to the big central DB so data can be compared over time with bigger resources than the embedded device would have. Thus, you could have a dozen or so of the small embedded devices in the field and have a beefy server back at a home base that could generate reports, maintain dashboards, etc. from traditional infrastructure in terms of electricity, connectivity, etc.
There was also the potential for this to lead to something like Skynet if the embedded devices could form a collective consciousness but the project never got to that stage of things.

Likewise, how the Microsoft products runs even i don't have any .net framework, Vc++ compiler or whatever. Let see the situation, i brought new Pc with windows Xp and then i install NFS Most wanted or any equivalent generation games. We know that, it will run. I don't know how it cause?.
May be this question duplicate me: How to run any C# project .exe without .net?
Let discuss and share!
Windows 7 and 8 come with pre-installed versions of the .net runtime. (Version 2.0 for Win7, 4.5 for Win8 if I'm not misstaken). Also, any updates are deployed using Windows Update, so you probabbly don't even notice when you install a new version.
That's why most .net applications will "just run".
Whenever you install any game/ software, it will also install redistributable C++ /DirectX etc (usually). During installation itself
it will ask whether you want to "upgrade" your version of C++ or
DirectX if you have another older version installed, otherwise it will
install C++/DirectX. This version of DirectX/C++ will be used by the
program. You can go to your Control Panel --> Ad/Remove programs and see various versions of redistributable C++ installed (if you had/have installed many games/ software)
Without a JVM, nothing in java runs. The JRE might also be installed by a program but will be locally
linked i.e, you can't see it in your path and it will be uninstalled
when the program is uninstalled.

What are the possible ways to convert a windows form application (c# , .net) to a cross platform project?
My GOAL is have a project that can run in both Linux base os and windows.
I really like .net but it's not compatible with all OS (for example Linux) because of .Net Framework installation.
what is your suggestions?
As #paqogomez pointed out, IronPython does not take away the need for some sort of .net since, as it's stated on the website http://ironpython.net/ : "IronPython is an excellent addition to the .NET Framework, providing Python developers with the power of the .NET framework."
Since your goal is to run your existing winforms-c#-application on both, windows and linux, you might get away by just using mono (http://www.mono-project.com/).
If this doesn't work out (please refer to http://mono-project.com/Compatibility for compatability issues), you could manually rewrite your existing C# application in pure python. But then, it might well be possible to use any other unmanaged, managed or scripted language which can be used on both systems and which is either easier to translate manually or for which even automated translators exist (however, I don't know if there are any for C#).
Thinking about the last point, I did a quick websearch for "c# cross compiler" which shows some esoteric results which might be interesting for you depending on your project type.

I am .Net Developer who started using Mac OS. The only thing that I miss on this system is "VISUAL STUDIO".
I don't wanna use two systems, What do you think in order to develop .Net application
Do you think that I should install Virtual box and use Visual Studio
http://zeus.cs.pacificu.edu/chadd/InstallVisualStudioOnYourMac.html
Or Just use Mono Develop? Is Mono Powerful enough to develop application that is compatible with Windows and run on Mac ?
I am purely .NET developer, but lately also developing iOS applications with using Xamarin (new name for mono libraries) and Xamarin studio (rebranded Monodevelop).
So, if I understand you correctly and you still want to develop .NET applications but just working and "live" in MacOS, the I would say that you have no chances.
Even if consider, that you can have an ability to write code (and even to have some .NET libraries to use even there) in Monodevelop, that's just incomparable, how VisualStudio is amazingly convenient for developer (especially, for native .NET one) and how many plugins it has.
So, from my point of view, there is even no talk: you must use VisualStudio in any case! Even if you use it in Remote Desktop.
UPD: Time flows and things change. Currently .NET is really spread even to Mac. Visual Studio Code been released for coding and Xamarin became available for Free since the answer was asked.
However, one thing will probably never come true: I am doubting Visual Studio will ever be able to migrate from Windows. It will be rather some new product or extending of Visual Studio Code.
Of course you can use Mono to develop an application that is compatible with Windows, although Mono is nowhere near as robust/easy to use/ feature filled as VS.
That said depending on the type of application you plan to develop, it may make sense to install windows in a virtual box so that your application can actually run on your computer.
For example, if you are trying to make a Windows Forms application, your app ( which can be completely developed in Mono, but will not run on the native OS X. This will most likely make debugging a nightmare.
If you're on the fence it might make sense for you to download a 90 day free trial of a windows OS from microsoft, run that in a virtual box and try out visual studio.

I want to create a deskband app, like BatteryBar, in C#. I understand that the deskband might not work in future versions of windows, that you shouldn't code explorer extensions in managed code, and whatnot. My question is, what is the current reccomended way to create a deskband (or a simulation of one) in C#? Thanks in advance!
This may not answer your question, but it is important information related to your question:
You said,
I understand ... that you shouldn't
code explorer extensions in managed
code
This is no longer true.
This used to be true because the multiple versions of the CLR could not be loaded into a single process. For example, Explorer could not load an extension that used both .NET 2 and .NET 1; the host process would fail to load the second CLR version.
But with .NET 4, which comes with a new CLR, you can now run multiple versions of the CLR in the same process. So if you write your code using .NET 4, you're no longer at risk of making host processes error out.
In short, it is now OK to write Explorer extensions in managed code, provided you're using .NET 4 or greater.
