Re: Calling a .Net console app from IBM i

Use an installer such as Advanced Installer (which we use) .

http://www.advancedinstaller.com/

Install to a consistent location.

Bigger question would be how are you going to guarantee that your APP ran
and did its thing ?

Might want to consider letting the iSeries update the SQL database
directly using some of the FREEWARE products or a commercial product such
as our RPG2SQL Integrator.

Just sayin :-)

subject: [SystemiDotNet] Calling a .Net console app from IBM i

I have a small console application that I wrote to update some info in our
webstore's sql database from the IBM i system. The application works
great, but I want to let one of our 5250 users to run the app via a green
screen menu. So I want to use RUNRMTCMD to do that. The issue is that the
.Net program was packaged and installed with ClickOnce.
This is an issue because, besides being new to .Net programming, that
ClickOnce puts apps in some crazy directory structure, and if you update
the app, it will change! So should I redo the package and install using
Windows Installer? Or is the ClickOnce thing usable?

Thank You
