XmlDataDocument->DataSet->DataGrid: MDAC required??

[Vico]

Hi!

I have a windows forms application and , what I basically do is:

1.- Instanciate a DataSet.
2.- Instanciate a XMlDataDocument attaching the DataSet to it.
3.- Load XmlDataDocument with a local XML document (C:\mydoc.xml)
2.- Bind it to a Datagrid.
That is all!

My app doesn't need to access SQL Server, or any other ODBC, not even to MS
Access....

Is MDAC still required on the target machine in order for this to work?

I have not tried it on a machine that does not have MDAC installed so I
don't know if it works....

Thanks in advance.

Technically yes since there is no reference to the MDAC runtime libraries in
the assemblies you will use but a Windows without MDAC :-) ?

Gabriel,

The thing here is that since my application will be a commercial application
and will be used by many people around the US, I really do not want to
install any "pre-requisites" unless are needed (of course .NET framework is
required) and MDAC 2.7 is required in some cases and some Windows 98, or Me o
2000 do not have it installed in the original setup.

So that is why :D

What do you think?

Thanks!!
