Setup And Deployment in .NET with MYSQL Database

i 开发者_高级运维have made an window based application in C# and MySQL is my database.now while making setup of application. does it require to install MYSQL @ client's machine??

First thing to know is if your application is a client-server application, or just a client application.

1) Client - Server application: All clients connect to one central database machine. There you will have to install MySQL.

2) Client application: Every installation of the client requires an installation of MySQL.

You will need to deploy the necessary .dll's of MySQL though, which is ( for as far as I can remember ) just one ( mysql.dll ).

If you're building a setup using Visual Studio, the needed .ddl's will be compiled in the setup for you.

Hope this gives you the information you need..
