Questions about smartclient development

[Yan Lu]

First thing is: Is it possible to deploy smartclient apps on Win2K platform?
If not, what's the requirements for using smartclient on the server and
client sides?

Second question: I am using my Win2K for a smartclient development test.
Everytime when I run the app, it reports following error. How to solve it,
based on the assumption that Win2K can do the work.

Hi Yan,

First : To develop smartclient apps, on client machne you need to have .NET
framework, regardless of the operating system (execpet Windows 2003 where
the .NET coms as part of the OS).

Second: All the assemblies that are referenced by smart client need to be in
the same dir as your smartclient app. I am talking here about third party
assemblies, not the ones that are part of the .NET framework. So if your
smartclient app is using any third party tools, their assmeblies need to be
in the same dir as your smartclient app.
