I believe Thinstall[^] offer a service where they will wrap up a .net exe with all the required stuff into 1 single executable that can be run on a system without .net installed. It really isn't cheap though:
www.thinstall.com Pricing in North America starts at $4,995 for the Thinstall Virtualization Suite
If it's just a simple console app, you should consider writing it in another language that doesn't require a runtime (c++ maybe)
various versions of the .Net framework are included with various service packs, so it could already be on your client pc's,
Aaron talks about it here[^]

developing it some other platform is the only choice i think....
is there any utility that converts c# code into c++ code or runtime ?

Can I ask why you decided to target the .NET framework when the requirements were for an application that does not require this framework? It seems a bit convoluted to me?

dear...i have developed the application for some other client a long ago....now i do need to deliver it to some other who do not have framework

Doesn't it store the bookmarks in a plain text file (HTML I guess). Isn't it?

renjith p krishnan,
Like Vasudevan Deepak K said, Firefox holds them in a HTML file. So, you'll need to read the file into memory and then iterate through the tags.
If your a newbie, maybe start with something a bit simpler so you get the basic understanding first?
Regards,
Gareth.

You can find the bookmarks for FireFox in windows contain in the subdirectories of:
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Be warned that the profile is stored in a subdirectory with random characters, one of them will have a .default (this is the one that loads on application start) and each windows user might have many different profiles for FireFox. So there could be any number of profile subdirectories, but all will contain a "bookmarks.html" file. This file is formated in a custom Mozilla doctype scheme, though it is viewable in a web browser like normal HTML.

thanks for the reply
so can we make sure that the mozilla profile path will always be as follows?
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Can we store a database in form of XML?
Please excuse me but I don't know XML.
If yes, what if the database is huge? Are there any performance issues related to it?

Yes[^], but why would you want to store it in a proprietary format?
ptr2void wrote: Please excuse me but I don't know XML.
Google is your friend, and so is Wikipedia.
ptr2void wrote: If yes, what if the database is huge? Are there any performance issues related to it?
Depends largely on how your design, but generally, if you store it in XML, it will occupy more space. My suggestion is to go with one of the regular databases like SQL server or Oracle.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Yes, but only in UTC Time.

If you can do everything easily with a plaintext XML database, what is the benefit of fine tuned RDBMS?

What is UTC time? How is it different from Local Time?
Does it mean that UTC time are same on every machine at a particular instant or does it manipulate from the local system time?
I want to time which should be uniform across the globe. Like different application calling my server should pass universal time so that it is easy to maintain. What time should I be using on clients?

Read this[^]
ptr2void wrote: I want to time which should be uniform across the globe
Then use UTC.

I wrote some very simple code:
DateTime dt = DateTime.UtcNow;<br />
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
Now if I change my local time, the UTC time changes too..
If UTC time is meant to be constant, then it should not change even if I change my local time...
Isnt it?

 UTC is based on your local time +- your time zone, so of course UTC will change if your local time does.
Really... go and read up on UTC at wikipedia like you've been advised. It will all become clear (I hope).

ptr2void wrote: What is UTC time? How is it different from Local Time?
UTC is just like another timezone. It will have a fixed offset from your local time.
ptr2void wrote: Does it mean that UTC time are same on every machine at a particular instant
No, each machine will calculate UTC as an offset from it's local clock. If you need a time value for co-ordination or timestamps you need to use a central server for your clock. If it's an app with a database back end you can just use the database time.
ptr2void wrote: I want to time which should be uniform across the globe. Like different application calling my server should pass universal time so that it is easy to maintain. What time should I be using on clients?
Yes, you should use UTC to pass times between machines, servers, clients and internally, etc. But ideally, you should then convert the UTC to the machines local time zone before you display it to a user. Users won't generally understand what UTC is.
