Using SMO and ClickOnce deployment

Hi,

I'm writing an app that I want to use ClickOnce deployment with. The app may have to ask the user for the Server and Database name to connect to if it is the first time it has been run. I'm thinking of using Sql SMO but I see the requirements for this include MDAC 9.0.

Can anyone tell me how this could affect a clickonce deployed app I'm no export with clickonce, sorry. I'm hopeing it is possible to deploy MDAC 9.0 via clickonce too.

Any help would be great.

Graham

    Is there a redist avaiable If not, what is needed to install SMO on a system Is it sufficient to install the Microsoft.Sql.* assemblies into the GAC Or do I need to do some other setup

    Hi Graham, SMO does not have a requirement on MDAC9.0.

    Of course SMO needs to be installed on the target system. If that is not the case there will be a SMO redist available that your clients can install.

    Thanks for the info Michiel.

    I got the MDAC 9 requirements from the MSDN docs but hey, if it doesn't need it then great!

    The redist that wil be available, does anyone know if this can be installed via clickonce, or canit be at least 'advertised' on the click once install page

    See the ClickOnce FAQ (or click here for an answer to your question).

    [The FAQ loads a little slow BTW]
