SmartClient?

Obviously a newbie question but:
Is a .Net app automatically a "SmartClien t" app? If I build a frontend
in VB.Net or C+.Net and use a SQL Server backend (assuming some sort of
ADO.NET involved) is that what MS refers to as a "SmartClien t" app?
Thanks for any direction on this.

Well, not really. There are a bunch of things that Microsoft sees as features
of a program that makes it a smart client. These include:

1. Program communicates with the backend via WebServices
2. Program can work on and offline
2. Program auto updates

There are a few more, but that will give you a good ideas.

Can you tell me if it is possible to use the PropertyGrid control in a SmartClient deployed through IE, without modifying the security policy. The error I get is System.Security.SecurityException: Request Failed. This is the first control that I have had problems with using the Forms components.

Hi: I got a very strange problem while using my dotNet SmartClient exe in IE. (One Click Deployment.) What we did are 1) a C# dotNet exe, very small, just for testing. around 492K. 2) put the exe under IIS application folder 3) make the server URL full trust on client IE. 4) Make a html page which contain the URL above. While client the url in IE, sometime it work but sometime doesn't.

I have a WinForms based application that I'm launching over http (Microsoft's buzz word for this is aparently "SmartClient"). I had an issue trying to get parameters passed in through the URL that I thought I had solved. For example, let's say I wanted to do this: http://myserver/appdir/mywinformapp.exe?username=joe&age=12 Providing code access security permissions allow it, mywinformapp.exe is downloaded to the client and launches...

I have a WinForms application that I'm trying to deploy as a "SmartClient" (where .exe downloads and auto launches from IE using ..NET IEExec process). Part of my criteria for the app is to be able to get to pass parameters into it. I found a way to do this though the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); method call and passing in attributes just as I would with an ASP or ASP.NET page (e.g. http://myserver/myapp.exe?name=jdeats&age=27)I...

Good morning, Hope someone out there can help. I have 5 PCs that hit my intranet server. All 5 will run the smartclient from the webpage. One of the PCs does not seem to be reading the apps config file. This is where I have a number of keys with SQL CMDs as the values. It gives no errors but the result is always a empty string. 3 of the other PCs have the .Net Dev IDE installed on them. The 4th not sure if the IDE is on it or not.

Greetings, I have an aspx page where on it is a link that calls my smartclient (a windows form) that opens up. When the user is done in the form, he or she hits a button that saves data and closes the form. I want the smartclient to call the opened browser (IE6 and maybe 7 down the line) and refresh the aspx page. The page contains a datagrid control that gets populated on the page's load event. Does anyone know how you can do that? ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
