executable - Install wizard for my windows form application - or not? -


I'm thinking of requiring an established wizard for my small Windows form application. There is no database access, only file on a shared network drive.

I have seen many times when executed in an email, copied to a desktop and used.

An 'installed wizard' is being used to set up an animation.

Is it needed or not?

And if I want to use one - what should my windows have been added to the form app?

If your app is actually just an .exe file, then it's probably ok to distribute it As for without an installer It would be better for more advanced users, because they do not have to worry about installing broken / unwanted ones - they can only be removed from the file and can be done with it.

On the other hand, most Windows users are used to work with installers, and are used to create shortcuts automatically on desktop or start-> programs, this is where An MMSI can really help. In addition, the use of an installer will usually put your application into the "Add or Remove Apps" control panel, which most people know how to use. Besides, if your app is just one. Exe file (such as many .dlls and resource files) is higher than you would probably want to use an .msi

Creating an installer is easy, see "Setup Projects" in Visual Studio.

sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
