To deploy a desktop application(C# 2008,SQL SERVER 2005)

Hi Shilpa,

To Deploy a Desktop Application you need to create a set up Project.Follow following Steps.

Go To Solution Explorer
Right Click Add New Project
Go To Setup & Deployments
Add Setup Project which means Creates a Windows Installer project to which files can be added. This project type is the most generic of the five.
Right click on Setup project View File system
In file system you can see a folder called Application folder
Right click Add --> Project output
Add Primary output from the Popup Window
Build It

This will create a windows installer file in the Project location.

and as far as Sql server DB is concerned There has to be a server where the DB should be installed,and your App you can change the connection string in App.Config file it will work.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Prasant
