Hi,
I am new to C# and to IT development in general. I am using Visual C# 2010 to develop a winform application targeting the .NET 4 client framework. This application needs to connect to a server that has a MYSQL database. This application is meant only for a particular department in the organization that shares a particular drive (say O:). I want to know if it:
1. Would it be possible to access the MYSQL database in the server from the shared drive.
2. If the above is possible, then, would it be better to have the application in O: instead of having a copy of the application in each user desktop.
This is because I am worried about issues that might arise out of multiple instances of the application running from the shared drive. On the other hand, I want to avoid the inconvenience of having to install a copy of the application in each of the users'
desktops.
All user desktops have .NET 4 client framework installed.
Thanks.
