Hi,
Is deployment as simple as copying all files except
..vbproj,vbproj.webinfo,.resx, .vb into the production web server?
Need I install VS2003 onto the production server which is going to host my
web application?
Problems which I'm facing are:-
1) If there's CR involves, error msg like 'can't find engine for Crystal
Report'
2) Datagrid will not display any data in server w/o VS2003 installed but it
works if VS2003 is installed.

Thanks!
 
There is never a need to install VS200x onto a production computer where
your application runs. You as developer are supposed to know what is used in
your application, which may not be part of .NET and has to be installed on
the computer.

If you used Crystal Report.NET, which comes with VS2003, you need to know it
is not part of .NET, it is just an add-on reporting tools for the VS. If you
use it in your .NET app, you need to deploy component used by Crystal
Report.NET (basically, you add a few merge modules coming with Crystal
report.NET into your setup package. Search the net or
www.businessobjects.com on how to deploy crystal report.NET with .NET
applications.

As for DataGrid issue, it definitely does not need to install VS to run
(whether it is Win form datagrid or web server control datagrid). You need
to debug your code to see what is happening.
