Re: Problem with updating MDF Data file as opposed to updating a r

Why don't you want to run SQL Server on the clients?

Well crud,

I was hoping that they had included the classes needed to connect to
the MDF file in .Net 2.0 (considering that SQL Server Express is so
.Net friendly, I had figured that this was the case).

Looks like I will simply serialize the data to XML instead, and
load/save it when the application opens/closes. Not ideal, but ohh
well. I only have one table currently, so it will be bearable, but now
I am going to have to seriously re-consider adding anything new to the
data structure...

Again, seems that they would make it run without having to have SQL
Server running on the client machine. The only benefit is like the MSDN
page said that you can have multiple copies of the same program runinng
with different database files, and not have to attach a million DB's to
the database for no reason. I guess it just isn't possible to run with
a shell set of DLL's like MDAC does to get into MS Access, but you
don't have to have Access installed. Maybe they will add this in
3.0.....

Anywho, thanks for all your help guys, this question is answered :D
