What do you mean by "tracking"? An inventory of vehicles and their assignments? Or their current location, updated in real time? Something else?

I think you need to determine what "tracking" device you will be using. Then how to communicate with said device, etc.

for example, suppose there is car or truck with GPS system
so how can track in my C# windows application

You can't just track ad hoc vehicles.
Said devices would have to report the information to you -- and they won't do that.
Or you need to buy or design custom devices and install them in the vehicles.

Companies with fleets of vehicles install devices and the software for tracking and scheduling them.
When I wrote some software for a taxi company I had to figure out how to have my software listen in to the conversation between the cabs and the server, and then decode the GPS data -- no two software packages do it the same.

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
