When you send an application to someone, using another computer, besides the application itself, do I have to send the Resources File too? And if I am using a DataBase do I have to send the Database.mdf file too? And what else would you have to send to make sure your application works on another computers?
Sorry if this question is a repeated one, but most of the others just ask for a single item, either the Resources or something else. But I would like to know about everything you have to send.
Thanks a lot !
it depends on your approach. i think you have a software with database and... that you want to sell and make it owrk on other users device. you can make you app make a new database on first start. you can include database files if its local and add to user app directory and... it all depends on you packaging method and tool.
or maybe you want let someone continue the project. so you can give other developer a back up .bak format or export database files from sql server management studio and other developer can attach them to the other machine project

I'm currently learning WPF with the goal of making a simple app for a friend. This app will make use of a database and the PC were it will run won't be connected to the internet.
I know how to make a simple database using the server management studio, and how to connect to it in my code. But so far, all tutorials/docs I've seen only talk about making use of a database in my pc, but in the case when I finish said app, how I go about setting all of this up in his (or any other)?
The end goal is for the app to be 'plug and play' and that the database files can be easily backed up.
I don't expected a step by step process! Just some direction for where to look for would be more than enough... thank you.
Use an SQLite DB, can be part of the App

We have a c# application wich is used by user to do stuff ;-)
What I want is to add at the startpage of the application some news or information like "hey, there is a new update for the application" or "did you know this feature..." Basically I want something similar like the startpage in Visual Studio.
The news should remain when there is no internet connection and update when there are new entires.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks
Let your application read some data from file located in the server (XML is good idea), Also you must save the current version of your app in some file (or some where).
So after comparing between the two values you can decide what to show in your news bar.
To show some news you can just read it from another XML file in the server, Then organized it like you want.
here is good ways to read XML from server Read an XML file from http address

Is it possible to call an exe from a MVC site?
I've seen this link. (I'll try it tomorrow in the morning when I get in the office)
Stackoverflow link
However I wanted to know if I cam barking up the wrong tree.
I have a 3rd party app that provides us a stand alone exe. Instead of sending this exe to x amount of clients. I would like to keep that exe on my web server so I can control who can use the exe.
Is this is viable option?.
You might find the responses to this old question helpful. If you are trying to run an exe file within your application, I think this would be the approach to take.
If I have understood your question wrong, and you are trying to provide users with a link to download an application, or a link to launch an application that already exists on their computer, then you will probably want to look into the html <href> tag.

AFAIK attackers can overwrite files which have CHMOD values 777 on linux servers. Today my web site which created by myself using ASP.NET has been hacked. My Site.master page has been appended with lots of backlinks and there was a folder named as Sayers which has many html files (probably include search keys).
I could easily delete the folder and restore the original Site.master file.
I do not have SQL injection problem. Even if so I would have seen some additions or changes in the records. There is nothing. There are only changed files and added folder.
I have updated my FTP password. I am 100% sure that I do not use a third party extension. All the code is handmade (: So I want to know how to prevent this to be done again. Also what could be the vulnerability about the website. I also want to know if it is a server side problem or my problem.
I am using a hosting company's service. I use FTP (21), not secure.

Lets assume that we have developed and shipped an application to many customers. We would like to add new screens to that application without removing and re-installing from customers computers the entire application. We just want to send a DLL or an EXE file to the customer, then they will put that file and place it to application folder. Then application will find and recognize that DLL or EXE and let user use that WinForm?
How can I do that? Would you please give me an idea?
professional and complete solution is MEF if you want something simple, you could use something like Assembly.LoadFrom(filePath) and iterate types in it. check for if the type is derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form (you should use typeof(Form).IsAssignableFrom(loadedType))
This problem is why web-applications are so popular. A single install for everyone. Change without re-installing in multiple locations.
This problem is why SAAS exists. The true solution to this problem is get off the winform-gui model.
Think bigger!
