I have been trying to find a way to publish my C# Windows Application that involves a database connection (MySQL). I want to be able to send this to my friends or even let others use it.

My problem is that I have no idea how to publish the app with the connection. Ive searched everywhere. PLEASE HELP!

  • The common way to accommodate a possible change in connection information is with program settings values. – Jeffrey Wieder Jun 29 '15 at 17:37
  • You would need to find a hosting service that has the capability of SQL database connections. Windows Azure is popular, but there are many others. – TestWell Jun 29 '15 at 17:41
  • @TestWell I currently have a hosting service that has a MySQL server + connection. Will this not work? – chris5347 Jun 29 '15 at 17:46
  • If they advertise support of SQL databases, I don't see why not. Which one are you using? – TestWell Jun 29 '15 at 17:47
  • Is this a desktop application? If so, why not let the user configure their own MySQL server and have it hook into that? If you need something self-contained you probably want to use the [SQLite Library](http://sqlite.org/). – tadman Jun 29 '15 at 17:48
