C:\\Dream Design\\Gestion De Caffée\\Coffee_Shop.mdf is a terrible location for a file: better use e.g. %PROGRAMDATA%\\Dream Design\\Gestion De Caffée\\Coffee_Shop.mdf

You need compatible version of .NET Framework (which is freely re-distributed, you can distribute it with your software; via the installer or anyhow) and compatible SQL server.
I would advise to claim SQL as a prerequisite for your application, as then the user could use the license they might have.
And then, you need your application.

It is possible that your application depends on something else I am unaware of. You will need to check it by yourself.

1- Configure your sql server as here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx[^]
2- Create a user for your db as here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbd1aOt8H94[^]
3- Set your connection string as here: https://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008/[^]
4- If you want, you can hide your connection string on client as here: Encryption Decryption Connection String for the App.Config File[^]

This makes your application to be ready for remote db connection. It is better to check other dependencies. But if you create a ClickOnce setup, it makes your job easier. Check out this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb546051%28v=vs.90%29.aspx[^]
