Deploying windows forms project without installing .NET 4.0 client - c#

I have made a windows forms application on VS2010 with .NET 4.0, Now its time to deploy on the client side, I was wondering if there is any way to make a setup that includes all the libs and dlls (of .NET framework) that will be needed at client side to run the application "without installing .NET 4.0 client/ framework" on the concerned node, what settings will be needed to do so.
Thanks in advance

No, you need to deploy .net properly.

How to create and Deploy a Mono ASP.NET web project in Visual Studio?

So the web server i am using right now is a Apache web server which runs ASP.Net on mono but i can't seem to get a project up and running on the mono ASP.Net server as it all ways just lists the directories within the folder
I tried creating a ASP.Net project uploaded it didn't work
I tried creating a MVC project and uploading it, also did not work
I tried creating a project on a .net framework 4 and uploaded it but still no luck
I've run of out of ideas how to get this to work, is there i special way i should be compiling the project? or is there a specfic version of .net i should use, as the mono ASP.NET version says 4
Mono is a linux based runtime like the .NET framework is a windows based runtime. You don't have "mono ASP.NET web projects" - you have "ASP.NET web projects" that run on .net framework in windows or mono (maybe) in linux.
What I'd actually recommend you do is create a .net core site if this is a new project; microsoft provide core for windows and linux so it should be easier to get started developing something that compiles and runs on windows, and then is either transported compiled to linux or recompiled there.
Note that your apache (if you're dead set on using that) will probably need to be configured as a proxy so that it forwards requests through to Kestrel, which is hosting your app. Apache doesn't natively understand .NET anything, and will just see a .NET application as a bunch of folders and files

How to embed .NET Framework 4.0 into c# project

I make a c# application project. this project run on my computer good, but in other computer says you must first install .NET Framework 4.0 to run this application.
How to embed .net framework 4.0 into c# project.
Thanks
You can't embed the framework into your application sine it needs to be installed on the client machine (not just xcopy'd like your app).
You'll need to create an installer which will take care of detecting and installing the required framework version before installing your application.
There is a tutorial here which shows how to create a setup project.
Once everything is set up, go to Project > [project name] Properties, click the Prerequisites... button and check .Net Framework 4. By default, the setup will download the Framework from Microsoft, so it will need an internet connection.

What are my options for self-hosting SignalR?

I want to add SignalR to my Windows service, written in C#, targetting .NET 4.0. The Microsoft.Owin.* packages appear to require .NET 4.5.
I'd also like to include NancyFX in the same process, for other reasons.
What's the best way to self-host SignalR?
I installed the signalR package (v. 1.1.2) using .net 4.0. Work as a charm. I cannot use 4.5 as I am still at VS2010.
I use it with a standard web project with a WebService handling the communication.
The only Microsoft OWIN package that requires 4.5 is owinhost.exe (used to be katana.exe), you can still use normal http listener (Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener) to self host just fine.
If you install the packages as listed at https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/wiki/Self-host they should work just fine under .NET 4.0. It's worth remembering that you can always use the package manager console to explicitly install older versions of packages if you need to - although for SignalR at the time of writing there is no need to do this.

Dotnet 4.0 upgrade from 2.0

i am working on a dotnet C# web application which was initially created with VS 2003. My goal is to upgrade this application to Dotnet 4.0 without changing any functionaltiy. The solution has 9 projects (1 web + 8 Library projects). The Web project refers the 8 libraries in DLLs. To start off, I created a New project in VS2010 and added the all the Project files from the existing source code. Every time i add a project file to my solution, i was prompted with the Converison wizard and i completed the conversion wizard succesfully and now the solution works fine. After the conversion, i noticed that Except the "Web" project, other projects are converted to Dotnet 2.0 but not 4.0. My application runs without error if i run it locally using VS2010. My questions are
Why the Class libaray project did not upgrade to 4.0? Currently the
Web project is shows up as Dotnet 4.0 and Libaray projects shows up
as Dotnet 2.0.
Can i deploy the application to IIS 7.0 with the
Dotnet runtime of 4.0? Will the Dlls created in version 2.0 work if my application
uses Dotnet 4.0 runtime version?
Please help...
If your'e migrating now, why not move directly to Visual Studio 2012, instead of 2010?
Anyway, what you can do is open the project properties in each of your projects, and change the target framework to the .NET framework 4.0.
Then if you get any compilation error you can probably easily solve it individually. This should be relatively easy if your projects are not too big.
As for your specific questions:
The automatic conversion would only change the format of the solution/projects to be compatible with the new version Visual Studio. It shouldn't change the target framework but you can change that yourself.
Yes, assemblies targeting .NET 2.0 can be loaded and used from assemblies targeting .NET 4.0.
1) Upgrading the solution/projects file only upgrades it's format so you can open it in VS 2010. It will usually leave the targeted .NET setting at the previous value. These are two seperate things. The wonderful thing about VS 2010 is it let's you target whatever version of .NET you desire, so no longer do you need multiple version of VS installed to support differnt .NET versions. It didn't change the targetted .NET version because it leaves it up to you. You can change it under the project settings and recompile your library projects to regenerate the DLLs
2) You will need an application pool for .NET 4. .NET is backwards compatible in that a .NET 2.0 app can run on a machine with .net 4 installed. However, the application pool for 2.0 applications must be separate from 4.0 apps. So it's just a matter of putting the app under the right app pool.

What is required to run a c# console application on a computer

I have created a simple c# console application with .net framework 2.0 that uses MySql. What steps should I do in order to get the program run on another computer(Windows Server 2008)?
I already have MS .Net framework Clent Profile and MS .Net framework Clent Profile Extended installed.
Should I install .net framework 2.0 Service pack too on the other pc?
Thanks.
You just need .Net Framework 2.0 or later to be installed on the machine.
It would would be better to make an installer.
Make sure you have .Net framework 2.0 installed on the computer. Also make sure you have the .Net dlls required for making connection. If your application is going to use the local machine as MySQL server then, you may have to intall MySQL on the client machine as well, or you can make an installer with MySQL installation included. You can use InnoSetup or you may check out the following thread Deploy MySQL Server + DB with .Net application
Environment - .Net Framework.
Version - Same as one or higher in which you app is targeted.
Why i said no particular version number because what if you app is in 4.0 and you have 2.0 installed?
That's why same version or higher.
