Re: .NET new executable

Most email clients and/or servers will filter any executable files out of
emails for security purposes.

Again, this is not a good design for your application.

Norman Yuan:
Since there is no network access avaialble, I want to send my app to each
user via email, then user runs it on his computer, save data to a file,
email
back to you; then you update the data into database.
The app that I send to the user to run, I do not want it to permanently
install on their workstation. I am trying to figure out a way to write
this
app so that it will:
1. not permanently install on their workstations, and
2. not require any specific software to be installed on their workstation
for the exe to run.

Thanks!

Then, how the users are getting your application? Are they on the same
private network (LAN,WAN...) or are they not networked at all (except the
Internet)?

You need to decide the application type based on availabe
infrastructure -
networked privately, or the Internet only, or not networked at all...

It seems web application would be the best, as Scott pointed out. You
could
also use Windows app with ClickOnce (you then still need a web server to
distribute the ClickOnce app, if the user is not on a LAN, and how about
database access: where the database is and how the windows app access the
data via the Internet?). In an extreme case where no network access
avaialble, you could send your app to your user via email, then user runs
it
on his computer, save data to a file, email back to you; then you update
the
data into database. I would not imagine this is what you want.

You need to describe who the users are, where are they and what kind of
network is available, where the database is..... before a
meaningful/useful/concrete answer could be made.

Scott M.:

I do not have access to a web server, that is why I want a Windows
application.
Do you think a second alternative would be, to save the data to an FTP
site
so that I would still have access to the data?

Thanks!

If you are not interested in having any remains of your application

on
the client after using the application then this needs to be an ASP

If you don't want to require any software on the client, then this
needs
to
be an ASP .NET web application.

If all you are trying to do is send some data to your SQL server, then
this
needs to be an ASP .NET web application.

It sounds like you simply need a web page that collects data and
populates a
SQL table.

Questions about creating an .net 'executable' 2005 that will not
remained
installed once a user enters some data into the application. I also
want
this
applcation to not require any previous software installed on a users
workstation.
I basically want to setup an application for new users when they
are
applying for insurance. This application would preferably be a run
as
a
windows desktop application versus on the internet. Once the user
enters
the
save or submit button, I want the application to send the data back
to
be
processed on a Sql server 2000 or sql server 2005 database.
I have Visual Studio.net 2005 currently and would like suggestions
on
how
to do steup this type of an application using Visual Basic.net 2005.

Thanks!
