Hi all.

I am getting ready to deploy a new winforms app to several dozen users. These users are not extremely computer literate. I am going to programmatically create a desktop shortcut for them and I do not want them to have to point the application to the correct database the first time that they run it. Is there something that I can do so that the app knows which database to connect to without user intervention the first time they run the app?

TIA

Hmmm, interesting, but just for clarification, your winform application will be replacing a web application, right?  If so, then, what I would do is create an installation setup with any tool (I use InstallAware), upload the setup to a web folder where they can just download it, run it and start using it.  I do that all the time with some of my applications which does not require the user to select anything.
