Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I created an application that uses ADO.NET in it. I want to install it on Windows which hasn't got SQL Server, and run without disturbing.

I used sqlconnection.

I mean; in the installation install a SQL version or somthing like that ... or maybe I must change the connection type! I don't know~

Anyway, guide me please.:confused:

If you don't have SQL Server installed, then the database driven part of your app obviously will not work, making the question kind of pointless. If you are scared of installing SQL Server Express Edition, you can look at the Compact Edition, which is self contained ( but limited as a result ).

Solution 1

If this is an application made by you, you can easily device it to ensure that no error comes when database is not present.

If it is made by someone else, and the person who made it doesnt allow the application to run without database, then you must have Sql Server installed.
