How to deploy

[paudelvikash]

hi
i am developing an application in my desktop using vb.net and sqlserver
when i have to deploy the application,there will be definitely some problem for me.i am using connection string for database access as per the configuration used in my computer such as workstation id and so on
but this will definitely be different when using it in other machine.
how can i solve this implementaion issues.
does this require creating dll files if so how can i do it.
i am using VS2003 and sqlserver 2000.
the application is network based with centralized database.

Thanks

You may store your connection string in the app.config file and use this connection string in your application. During deployment you may either modify this app.config using setup or deployment projects or manually by editing the app.config using any text editors.

You may store all your application settings in app.config file. For storing connection string this article may help you. http://codebetter.com/blogs/john.papa/archive/2005/10/07/132852.aspx
