Deployment issue for app with mapping and regular database queries integrated

ducksunlimited

HI All,

I had an issue when trying to deploy a WPF app built with Runtime SDK. The app has a map viewer with basic navigation/mapping functions and also forms for collecting data to be saved into a local SQL server database via sql-client connection. I can successfully deploy the app with the map viewer part only based on step-step instruction from ESRI. And I can also successfully publish and run the app with the forms part only without any problem. But when I put them together, either Deploy via ESRI or Publish thr VS didn't work. I am getting frustrated and hope someone can shed some light on this. I appreciate any comments.

Thanks,
Russel

Thanks for your response, Mike. here are the answers.

Hi, 

Please can you provide some more details about application?  

e.g.  
What layer types are used?  
ArcGIS online imagery as base map and operational layers from a local map pakcage
What local service types are used? (assuming it uses the LocalServer)

How is the data being read/written with the SQL database? 
read/write using SQL commands with SQl client connection. The database is a localhosted SQL Server
What options did you choose in the deployment builder?
