how to access desktop application from network?

[nebrom]

I am using C# and mS sql server for windows application. i have done the project . i install sql server on PC1 and install the windows application on it. then i go to other computers within a single LAN, then i only install the windows application. when i try to access it gives me errors.
then i try using these methods.
i got to my developing machine then i try to publish both from solution explorer then properties.. publish and from top build..> then Publish.., both gives me the same error that is: Cannot publish because a project failed to build
please tell me how can i pulish my application so that it can be accessed from LAN networks computers. thanks

What are the errors from the application on the other computers where only the application is installed? It is probably down to the application having trouble accessing the SQL Server over the network.

Here's the thing... and I see that you've been a member since '07... so you should know better...
First, you might want to look into why the build failed...there could be something there, may be not the why the app failed when you installed it, but clearly something is wrong.

secondly... since we're not mind readers and we're not sitting in your lap, we cannot see what you're seeing. I can think of three reasons off the top of my head that would cause errors when opening an application... each one very different from the other... so, rather than wasting your time checking something irrelevant, and so that we're not wasting our time offering irrelevant solutions, how about you post the message of the error and then maybe we can get a solid answer faster.
