The procedures below demonstrate how to deploy applications.
Using the installation program and GAC to deploy
an application
Install Adaptive Server ADO.NET Data Provider using the installation program on the end user machine.
If the .NET Framework SDK 1.1 is not installed on this machine, then manually deploy the provider assembly into the GAC.
Copy your application-specific files such as exe, and dlls, to the system in the application-specific folder.
Using the GAC to deploy an application
Copy the dll files that make up Adaptive Server ADO.NET Data Provider on the target machine in a directory such as C:\Sybase\DataAccess\ADONET\dll.
Add this directory to the system path.
Deploy the provider assembly into the GAC. See “Deploying Adaptive Server ADO.NET Data Provider assembly into the global assembly cache” for details.
Copy your application-specific files (such as exe, and dlls), to the system in the application-specific folder.
Execute the application.
Deploying an application independent of the GAC
On the target system, copy the dll files that make up Adaptive Server ADO.NET Data Provider in the application-specific folder, in addition to the application-specific files, such as exe, and dlls.
Execute the application.
