How to use the SmartObject .NET Data Provider on a Server that Does Not have K2 Installed on it
To use the SmartObjects with the .NET Data Provider, you need to register the following .NET DLLs in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache):
-SourceCode.Data.SmartObjectsClient.dll
-SourceCode.Categories.Client.dll
-SourceCode.HostClientAPI.dll
-SourceCode.Framework.dll
-SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.dll
-SourceCode.SmartObjects.Management.dll
You must also add the following entries to the machine.config:
(C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config - for example)
<configuration>
<configSections>
...
<section name="SourceCode.Data.SmartObjectsClient" type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
...
<configSections>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
...
<add name="K2 SmartObjects Data Provider" invariant="SourceCode.Data.SmartObjectsClient" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for K2 SmartObjects" type="SourceCode.Data.SmartObjectsClient.SOClientFactory, SourceCode.Data.SmartObjectsClient, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=16a2c5aaaa1b130d" />
...
</DbProviderFactories>
