我是否需要在计算机上设置sql server才能运行vs 10中制作的c＃桌面应用程序文件？

Question

我有一个使用SQL Server 8在vs 10中制作的桌面应用程序。我已经在项目的app_code文件夹中添加了mdf文件，并且app.config进行了相应更改。该应用程序已发布，并且可以作为安装文件（.exe）使用。我想将其安装在另一台PC中，是否需要在该PC中安装sql server？

Answer 1

The short answer is Yes

The idea is database needs a server to host it and an engine to run it

mdf file has no value without sql serve and access files has nothing to do if you don't have MS Access installed, etc.

But this does not mean db server must be installed on the client machine that has the application. as it can be on another machine or on the cloud (ie hosted on the internet)

As long as your application is connecting to that machine/server
