You'll need to look into something like Mono For Android[^]

Right, this is the way, and it will run the application without recompilation, but only if this application is written very accurately. My 5.

But I think its paid and secondly i don't know to develop software on Mono android as same as my vb.net desktop application
Is setup of this application not run on android?

Mono is basically an "open" version of .NET; which means applications should run the same on both .NET and Mono platforms (There are some discrepancies, check out their site for more information - http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page)

However, you are correct, Mono for Android does cost money. I'm not aware of any free builds (if somebody else does, please let me know too).

You need to use only the standard libraries (standardized under ECMA) and some non-standard ones, like System.Windows.Forms (unfortunately, not WPF). And you should test it all on Mono (Mono on Windows is a good help for initial or most of the testing), because there are difference kinds of incompatibilities, such as bugs, not only in Mono but also in .NET. And you should not use any platform-depended staff, such as direct use of Windows messages, P/Invoke, hard-coded path names, etc.

It comes with some practice.
