Does your program use an application configuration file? If so it will read
the settings from the config file fine when run locally but those setting
will not be there using smart client deployment as the config file is not
downloaded with the app.

If that's not your problem it appears that there is some other bug. The fact
that you're not receiving a security exception indicates that the deployment
is working fine but there is some other bug that is causing you app to fail.

Yes it uses an application config file.If thats the case then I should have got the sam
issue in development as other people were testing the application on my machine using the browser
Can you help me understand why its not the same case while in deployment
How can I overcome this?I am using a web service and the config file contains the path t
the web service.I did not want to hard code in the application.Is my approach correct or can
do it some other way.

Hi, I am looking for help with the following challenge. We are writing a Smart Client management application, which we want to appear to customers as a Web client.

BTW, on MSDN I only found general statements that this is possible, e.g.

Hi, What's in general the most performant for a VB.NET Windows Forms (2.0) application: - a fat client (everything one the client, the server hosts only the database) - a smart client (an application on the client, that communicates with an application on the server via Webservices/Remoting/..) I would somehow think a smart client, but would just like to have the

I am working on a big business application (dot-NET 1.1+legacy stuff), which is deployed in "SmartClient/no-touch-deployment" model.

Some of our users are getting an error that "resource" or "assembly" could not be found (both exceptions are popping up - sometimes one sometimes the other). The stack...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
