can a C# windows application be run on a windows 8 based tablet well?

Recently I was asked to work on a project which was developed for an aviculture company.
The client asked if I can make the application which was being developed in C#, to work on a tablet.
So i want to know if i finish the application in c# normally Will I be able to:
1.Use the mono for android and compile the whole project with that and get an android app easily for being used in android devices?
2.Use the executable project on a Windows 8 tablet without any changes?
I would be grateful if any one could answer these two questions.

It depends which tablet you're talking about.

  • On a Windows RT (ARM based) tablet like Surface, only Metro apps are supported. There are a few desktop apps, but only Microsoft can make them. So if your app is a desktop app, it won't run on Surface RT.
  • On a tablet with the "real" Windows 8 (x86 based, e.g. Surface Pro), you can run the same apps as on a PC.
