Is it possible to use Sharepoint Client Object Model for a Windows Application? If yes then how to do it? Thanks in advance...

Based on your comments it looks like you are trying to use types from the Server Object Model, not the Client Object Model. Check the types you are using - if the type name is prefixed with SP or the type is in the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace it's from the Server Object Model – Rob Windsor Aug 22 '12 at 12:04
I wrote a course for Pluralsight on how to use the Client Object Model. You can get a free trial subscription and check it out: pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/… – Rob Windsor Aug 22 '12 at 12:06

Yes, it is possible; and you do it the same way you would create any other Windows application, including the relevant references and writing the code.

I've already tried that.But it didn't work.Getting the following error :- "The type or namespace name 'Sharepoint' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft'" though I've added references to Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client and Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.Runtime – DeathRider Aug 22 '12 at 10:51
@DeathRider are you using .NET 3.5 in 64bit mode? If you post code, we may be able to help more, but it does sound like a configuration issue. – TZHX Aug 22 '12 at 11:30

Finally, I'm able to fix the problem.I missed out one very small but crucial thing.My Target Framework was set to '.NET Framework 4' which should be '.NET Framework 3.5'.Changed it accordingly and it has started working.
