I have already finished a desktop application using Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008.
it’s working perfectly on my machine (i have a SQL Server 2008 and 2005 ).
the database is local and unchangeable,
i want this application to be run successfully on the machine that doesn’t have SQL Server installed.
my Connection string is:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\KBank.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connection Timeout=300
I want to know the best and simplest way to make it. thanks
The simplest way would be to create a setup for your application that states SQL Server 2008 as a prerequisite. That’s it.
For further help you would have to supply more information on how you use the database in your application and if you have a way to host a public sql server instance to which your application will connect.
