When sodium chloride dissolves in water, it dissolves to form the chloride and sodium ions, therefore forming a conducting solution.
If it's dry, no. If it's wet, yes. It's the water doing the conducting, with tiny amounts of stuff in it that it dissolves from the wood.
The water from sweaty skin can contain electrolytes like salt (sodium chloride). When this water comes in contact with electrical switches, the salt dissolves in it, creating a conducting solution. This allows electricity to flow more easily through the wet hands, increasing the risk of electric shock.
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
A solute dissolves in a solvent.

Pure water by itself is not much of an electrical conductor. You can increase the ability of water to conduct electricity by adding a substance such as a salt that dissolves in water, separating into positive and negative ions. The ions in the water are able to conduct/transfer electrons maintaining an electrical circuit through the water.
Salts are normally very brittle and hard, but when their ions can move about salts are excellent electrical conductors. this is possible when a salt melts or dissolves. when a salt melts the ions that make up the crystal can freely move past each other. Molten salts are good conductors although they do not work as well as metals. Similarly if a salt dissolves on water it's ions are no longer held tightly in a crystal because the ions can move freely the solution can conduct electrisity

In a normal battery; Copper and Zinc.
When lithium chloride dissolves in water, it forms a clear, colorless solution. The lithium ions (Li+) and chloride ions (Cl-) are separated and surrounded by water molecules, creating a conducting electrolyte solution.
Electrical faults occur when the small pieces of electricity in your computer, called bits, get rerouted or destroyed in transit. You can prevent this by taking a spray can or mister, filling it with water and giving all the chips and components in your computer a light coating of water. To make sure, its often wise to dissolves some salt in the water as this makes it better at conducting those bits of electricity.
The solubility of a soluble solid in a given liquid can be determined by conducting a solubility test, where you add a small amount of the solid to the liquid and observe if it dissolves. If the solid completely dissolves, it is soluble in that liquid. You can also consult solubility tables or literature for information on the solubility of specific solids in different liquids.
