How to deploy Windows app with SQL Server database?
-
0 down vote favorite I have developed an application in Visual Studio 2012 with a SQL Server 2012 database. When I try to publish the application to test it, it works correctly on my machine (that includes the database in a SQL Server data folder), but when I move that published app to another machine it doesn't work. I want to know the simplest way to deploy the project together with its database. I have seen a solution to integrate the SQL database with my application is to use a localdb but I don't understand the steps to use it. I need all the steps to deploy an application with a SQL Server 2012 database in order to install the application on another PC without having to install SQL Server 2012 on that PC.
