Because DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET data providers are built from 100% managed code, you can use ClickOnce deployment effectively to deploy the data provider with your Windows Forms application. Following deployment, .NET security requirements necessitate an initial configuration step on the client. Future updates and changes to the application are delivered to the client by the Web server.
■ Deploying the Windows Forms application with a DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET data provider requires that each client has installed either the Microsoft .NET Framework or the Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable 2.0 or higher, which is available for download on the Microsoft Web site.
