Developing Sharepoint Windows Forms

Question

we want to have a tray windows application for our SharePoint users that they cant work with ms-access view or SharePoint workspace ... (this program should alert personnel with our custom alerts and they want customized small user interface for those end users.)

I use this article and this article and write a simple code for Feasibility of this solution. but after build, this client side application seems to work only on that dev server.

we try it on the windows 7 and after 24 times that it need dlls like below list.

Microsoft.BusinessData.dll
Microsoft.HtmlTrans.Interface.dll
Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll
Microsoft.Internal.Mime.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.AdministrationOperation.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Diagnostics.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Dsp.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.dll
Microsoft.Sharepoint.Sandbox.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.xml
Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll
Microsoft.Web.CommandUI.dll
Microsoft.Web.Design.Server.dll

still has another dlls.

Microsoft.sharepoint.intl.dll

Microsoft.SharePoint.CoreResource

that 'Microsoft.SharePoint.CoreResource is not exist in windows 2008 sharepoint 2010 dev server.

I know that this is not standard way to deploy it and I want to understand more and brief about standard way to deploy and develop it on the clients.

I know that should my server has sharepoint 2010 64 bit but my clients are windows 7 32-bt. is this my problem?

Answer 1

You cannot use server object model, only Client object model if you are running the application on a non-SharePoint server. Server object model only works on the servers.

Please take a look at the second link You only have to reference Microsoft.SharePoint.Client DLL's.
