C# Deployment Question

Larry J Siddens

OK, I guess I'm just stupid, but. I have a C# app that I created and want to send it to someone else. What needs to be sent along (with the .exe) so they can run it. Thanks. Larry J. Siddens

Well, generally if that person has .NET framework installed on his/her machine it will works, but if your program has configuration,database files or using custom assemblies it should be shiped with exe file,so typically it is better to create Set up project for your projects and add your settings and file to it and ship installshield only,not only the exe file.

Create an installer for your app in VS.NET OR 2) No installer First of all, the .NET framework should be installed on the target computer. Include dotnetfx.exe it's on the component update disk / prerequisities disk of VS.NET... Next thing to do is to check te references. If all references are made to files of the .NET framework you don't have to include any more files. If you have used custom .NET dlls (in app directory if you have chosen copy local) or COM dlls (via interop) you should include these in your distribution (COM: dll AND interop dll files, interop files are in your app output dir, main dll can be anywhere) greetz ;-) *Niels Penneman*

That's the .NET Framework installation. Take a look here. EDIT: Here's a more direct link.

I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.
