my first .NET application deployment
I have had all kinds of fun and games yesterday. Apart from the trading Citrix server throwing a couple of antics, because it could not resolve the database server name (residing on a different domain), and making a whole host of stuff live, that then did not want to work, I’ve also had to deploy my first .NET application.
I have heard somewhere along the grapevine that deploying an application in .NET is suppose to be as simple as copying the .exe and .dll’s to the client accessing it and voila, there you go. It appeared not be the case in for this application.
So, I learned about creating Setup and Deployment Projects. I did not know of its existence, until Ernst gave me a .NET 102 solution to deploying applications. I did a quick Google, and came across this link.
I have now managed to create an installation for my application, and it now works 100% on the client pc in question and I did not even break a sweat!
