VS 2005 Net Application And SQL Express Network Deploy
Aug 17, 2009
I have my vbnet application with sql server express designed for individual desktop pc. Now I want to have it work on a network.
1_ how can I make my customer to install sql express and the Database on the server and enable the network protocols seamlessly? dont want to have my customer configuring sql expess manually. 2_ how can I have my client software to look for the sql express and connect to it in a seamless way??
Can I avoid the customer to enter configuration data?
How can I deploy my sql server express 2008 database to client that do not have sql server instance at all? Since the server connection in my vb.net program is hard-coded, I want the server instance on client side has the same instant name as mine.
I have a VB 2010 Express application that uses a .mdb and a .xml file. Both files are part of the project. I am pulling my hair out to try to figure out how to make sure that these two files are deployed with the application. So far, I have only been running in Debug mode, so I'm focused on making that work.
When I click on the Application Files button on the Publish Tab of My Project, both the mdb and xml files are visible. I have tried setting both files to Data and Include. In either case, the mdb file is copied to the bin directory when I try debugging my application. However, the xml file is not copied no matter which option I select.
How can I get the xml file to be copied into the bin directory like the mdb file?
how can i deploy windows application developed using Vb.net and Sqlserver R2 Express as local database?..how can i make it in setup format(including sqlserver) to deliver to clients?is it compulsory the client should install SQL Server R2 Express in his system apart from the installation of this windows application?
I am trying to deploy an SQL Server 2005 WPF application on Vista. Database connection is failing. Can someone tell me on what to do. The app deploys well on other operating systems.
why is "sql server express" a prerequisite when i deploy my application? is it because i am using the "oledb" class? im using it to connect to a ms access database...could i be using any other class that would not require "sql server" to be a prereq? what about the "ado" class?
Basically back in VB6 days, I created several VB6 apps with Access as the backend database. I'd package my Access db file with the application setup, which copied it on to a shared network drive, and then different computers on the LAN could use the same backend database file, and that worked just fine. With SQL and VB .Net, I've done work with a SQL database hosted on a remote server, so you can basically build your query string easily and anyone can connect to it from anywhere, and it works just fine.However, what I'd like to do is have a local SQL express database as the backend for a VB .Net application and make a setup program that can install it in a way that it could be shared on a Local area network, without the user who is installing the application do anything.
I know about building a connection string with the local machine name, but I don't really have any experience with including an actual MDF file with the application. Does anyone know how it works, and is it a better approach? Does it work similar to placing an access file in a shared unc path?I know that ClickOnce (which is awesome) can install SQL express easily on a user's machine. However, the key is that I want SQL express to be installed only on the machine that is going to be the database server in a LAN enviornment, and not on every machine, unless it is neccesseary. And then how does your VB app know how to build the connection string to access the database from any machine on the local share?
I have developed a visual basic app in Visual studio 2008. I have created a windows installer file. Can I deploy this on a network drive and does .NET framework have to be installed on server? The application has a MS access database associated with it, so I would like to have it backed up via the network.
How do I deploy application using vb2008 express? I tried to find on in its package but couldn't.now i use cyber installer suite and works fine, except for one thing:
when I use visual basic powerpacks conponent, such as rectangleshape or ovalshape, I still cannot make my program works in other computer without vb2008 installed.. (deploy using cyber installer suite 2009)
I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not but...I've written my first VB.NET 2008 Express Class Library project (addin dll) and now I need to deploy it. I see Windows Form Applications have a Publsh tab (ClickOnce) in the project properties window but my class library project does not. How do I deploy a VB.NET 2008 Express Class Library project?
3 years ago I developed a vb.net application that connect to sql express 2005 data base.The application worked fine.e replaced our computers, so we installed the application again. (The same exe file, the same sql server and so on).Now, only when loading few forms I receive the following message: n error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)Note that when we log in to the application, a connection is needed. The user verifying is working fine; it means that the connection is working properly.
I use VB 2005 Express @ home for developing stuff. I am wondering if anyone knows how to run a script automatically after building my application. When I click build I want it to compile my InnoSetup installer and also zip up my executable + readme.txt file into AppName-version.zip. Right now I manually do it, and it's not that big of a deal, but if I am just wondering if it's possible. I think I can do it with full VS, so I will check it at work, but I am wondering if I can write a plugin or something if VB2k5X doesn't have an option do it already built in.
I am making a server - multiple client windows form application using Visual Basic Express 2005.
I was wondering if there was a way that I could debug multiple instances of the client at the same time?Ashray Lavsi If my post answers your Question, don't forget to "Mark it as Answer"
Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.That is working, so, so far so good.My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.
i just finished developing an application with visual basic and want to deploy it on the client computers while the database is on the server in a LAN environment.i tried installing the application on the server but the other computers on the network couldn't access it.i am using SQL 2000 database on the server.
I have a sulution consisting of aout 30 projects, where 8 of tehm are deployment projects. Currently, when I want to debug the winforms app, I press "start debugging", and wait for about 15 minutes for the solution to be built, and also the deployment projects to be built and packed. The solution itself is built in about 2 minutes, the rest of the time is for the deployment projects.So, my question, is there a way to make the setup in visual studio so that only the code projects are built and the deployment projects to be built manually when needed?
