Must to install OpenAccess to run?

[ayumi hinako]

Hi. I use the OpenAccess to develop a simple WinForm application. In other computers, I have to install OpenAccess to run it, otherwise it cannot run. Does it necessary to install the OpenAccess software?
Thank you!

Hi ayumi hinako,

If you want to compile the project on other computers, they should have Telerik OpenAccess ORM installed. OpenAccess uses a special "Enhancer" program to add some necessary code to the compiled assembly that contains the persistent classes. If OpenAccess (and the enhancer) is not installed this code will not be added and the application will not work.
However, you should be able to run the compiled application on other computers.

Thanks for your reply.
I mean, if I just  want to run a compiled application(not compile it), should I have the OpenAccess ORM installed in other computers?
Thank you.

Hi ayumi,

No, it will not require OpenAccess to be installed on the computers you run your app/web/services you have built using OpenAccess.
Naturally, you have to deploy the OpenAccess required assemblies, that your app uses.

Hi Alexander and Henrik,

I have thought that OpenAccess ORM installed is not require for app/web to run. But in other computers, the app which I used OpenAccess could't run, and I had the Telerik.OpenAccess.dll, Telerik.OpenAccess.Query.dll in the app folder. But after installed the OpenAccess ORM, it run OK. What's maybe the problem? And how to deploy the app environment accurately?

Thank you!

Hi Ayumi,

It looks fine with the Telerik.OpenAccess.Query.dll if you use LINQ and the Telerik.OpenAccess.dll is also required.
What kind of backend are you using (SQL Server, mySQL, Oracle...)?

Check out this link from the docs, it should help you..

Hi Henrik,

I read that link and deploy the complete content of the Telerik OpenAccess ORM \bin installation folder together with my application, and it works, it must have some essential dll to execute that I have missed. By the way, I use SQL server.

Thanks very much for all your help.
