Answer 1

Hello Pujit,

Thanks for your post. However, I am sorry that here is not the correct forum for you to deal with your issue, the forum here is mainly discussing database features in the VS, mostly database project.

Could you please offer me more information about what kind project are you creating? And what is the programming language you are using? I would like to help you to move your case to the correct forum so that you can get better support there.

Thanks.

Hi Pujit,

Based on your description it seems that you would like to distribute your data that stored in the SQL server to the new machines. However, as per my knowledge the database project is used to manage the database objects (tables, views, stored procedure), it does not contain data.

And for your scenario I think you should reopen one new case on the Windows Forms forum so see if Winform experts can help you further.

Thanks.
