Hello,
I am fairly new to visual studio and c sharp. I have made several applications that use OleDB to connect to a excel spreadsheet as my "database". But I want to expand on this and start making my applications use SQL Database for better speed/multi user/ etc...
I have made a local sql server application and it works great, but to move it to a work setup, is where i am confused.
I have a few questions about this whole workflow.
I code all on a single machine at home. This machine has Visual Studio 2015 and Microsoft SQL Server Express (with tools) installed. I plan on creating an application for work (that will have 3 users using it, and a windows 2012 server machine hosting all the files and database). When I create this application at home, will I be able to copy the .mdf file over to my work server (by copying the .mdf and .mdl file to the server and open it with Sql Server Management studio?)
When I'm testing it at home do I make the connection string have my server name, then when I compile it for work I will put that server name?
Trying to wrap my head around the workflow for making this kind of an application. Any information wil be so very helpful. Thank you so much!
