Portab;e WinForms Application

[Vladimir]

Hi all! Need advices.

How to create portable Winform application?
It is business program with charts, data grids and pdf/xls export.

But it is need that administrator rights are not required for a user.
My customer works in very strict company and haven't full access to a computer.
Even to install MS SQL Server Compact he must have administratior rights, but he haven't.

I use DataAccessModel.
Can I use other DB that has portable implementation?

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for writing.

If you want to create a portable WinForms application you can follow the guide in the following help article: Redistributing Telerik UI for WinForms | UI for WinForms Documentation. The section ILMerge Telerik WinForms assemblies will show you how to merge all Telerik (and possibly other) assemblies into a single .exe file.

As to the database part, you can use any of the supported databases listed here: Telerik Data Access .NET ORM Support for Multiple Databases.

Let me know, should you have further questions.

Hello Vladimir,

Thank you for your reply.

Currently, .NET based apps can run only in .NET environment. In future .NET Native can change that, but for the moment this is how it is.

Let me know, should you have further questions regarding UI for WinForms.
