deploy an C#+SQL2000 application

[John]

Hi All,

If I want to deploy an C#+SQL2000 application to client site, does the
client computer
need to have SQL2000 server at all ? or the relevant database and tables
will be collected
during the process of creating an installer ?

Thanks
John

It will either have to have SQL Server (or SQLServer Personal, formerly MSDE
(which is deployable under an MSDN license (perhaps even a VS.NET license)).
You can set up SQL Server (Personal most likely?) with a custom installer
and even install the database at this time.

if the client does not need the database, you can set it up to contact SQL
Server via the network, or even through a web service, for its data.
