C# windows application with embedded database - without installing any database engine to client's Machine
-
Hi All , I am distributing a stand-alone desktop Windows application with embedded database, I want to connect to a database from the client machine without having to install any database engine not even SQL Express on the client's Machine. I read some articles that this is possible as the .Net 2005 has this new feature , but I am not sure ow to do it. Can you please help ? Thanks a lot, Nermeen

If you install database engine on server computer, you can connect to it from client machine without installing database on the client side.

yeah , that's true and I will connect to the Database on the server with webservice , but as u know that will take some time on the client side so what I was thinking of having a temp database on each client side to connect to get and save data from clients and then update the database on the server side just to save time and optimize the client application . Hope u can help me Thanks a lot Nermeen

You can use Sql server compact edition, which uses just a single file and several dlls to run, to store data and later synchronize it with main database but compact addition has some limitations.
