Re: .NET new executable

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 left on
the client after using the application then this needs to be an ASP .NET web
application.

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.
