C# WinForm Desktop App - Connecting Client to Server IP in A

imole ayo

Goodday Programmers, I just finished developed a C# WinForm desktop application I created the Standalone Setup( with mssql DB) nd it is working fine when i run it....now the issue is running it on other Client computers I already installed the Setup on other Client computers, how can i change the App Config settings to point to my Server laptop IP and Port 1433 ? I mean Changing(Picking) to Server machine IP and SQL server Port 1433 at the point of Setup Installation on Client machine ... because i have already created the Setup and it cant be edited Both are on the same LAN network

Hi, in your case as you installed the setups on all client machines and nowhere center communication. You need to reinstall it or if you want to change only the application settings file... you can write some PowerShell script to update App settings file from outside.
