Deploying applications that use ASE ADO.NET Data Provider

There are three ways you can deploy applications.

StepsUsing the installation program and GAC to deploy an application

  1. Install ASE ADO.NET Data Provider using the install program on the end user machine.

  2. If the .NET Framework SDK 1.1 is not installed on this machine, then manually deploy the provider assembly into the GAC.

  3. Copy your application specific files such as exe, dlls, and so on to the system in the application specific folder.

StepsUsing the GAC to deploy an application

  1. Copy the dll files that make up ASE ADO.NET Data Provider on the target machine in a directory such as C:\Sybase\ADO.NET\dll.

  2. Add this directory to the system path.

  3. Deploy the provider assembly into the GAC. See Deploying ASE ADO.NET Data Provider assembly into the global assembly cache for details.

  4. Copy your application specific files such as exe, dlls, and so on to the system in the application specific folder.

  5. Execute the application.

StepsDeploying an application independent of the GAC
