Windows XP compatibility

I am working on a project that targets Windows XP platform. I have been developing it on a Windows XP virtual Machine with Visual Studio 2008 (with .NET 3.5) to make sure that it is going to work for my client. But this method became annoying (turning on, turning off, minimizing, restoring the virtual machine window, the lower performance). On my native machine, I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on Windows 7. If I am going to import the project from that machine to my native one and continue developing it, how can I be sure that it is going to work on Windows XP?

My application is written in C# for .NET Framework 3.5.

Make sure you target .Net Framework 3.5 in Visual Studio 2012. How to: Target a Version of the .NET Framework

Rebuild the application and test it in the Virtual XP machine. Windows XP is supporting .Net Framework 3.5 so there should be no problems. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

But do tell your client that the Microsoft support for Windows XP is going to end soon so they should start planning an upgrade. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx
