Win Forms application on network share

[Mark]

Assuming a windows domain, and a windows file server, what are the
performance implications of placing a data driven .exe Winforms application
on a network share, and having multiple users use the .exe? Assume that the
application uses no outside resources other than a SQL Server database, and
an app.config file. Is there a typical threshold of users that this model
could work well for?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

No really, it's fine as long as the operations be only of read ( as is the
case )
cheers,

Please assume that the databse calls are all CRUD operations --- not just
read only. Does this impact the scalability relative to if the application
was located locally?

When you start up the app, doesn't it just load the entire .EXE into local
memory, just as if it were actually running locally? Or am I over
simplifying things here?

Thanks again.
