How to create a network application

[sgietz]

Hello,

I'm a web developer, but I'm in the process of building a Windows app for our company. I have it working fine when the exe is on the client computer, but it won't work from a network location. The error is ambiguous. It's basically saying that the application has encountered an error and needs to close.

So how can I run an app that's located on another computer on the network? It would be a nightmare to deploy the exe file on every client, each time I update the app.

Thanks!

.Net Framework does not allow applications to run from untrusted locations like file shares. You have to use the .Net Framework Configuration tool (Control Panel > Administrative) to trust either the location or the assembly or a strong name. An alternative to the configuration dialog is to use the Caspol.exe commandline tool.
