Presentation: "Deploying and Maintaining Smart Client Apps Using ClickOnce"
Track:
.NET Client Applications
Time:
Tuesday 17:00 - 17:45
Location:

Abstract: Imagine all the benefits of the Web application deployment model brought to the Windows smart client applications. ClickOnce, part of version 2.0 of the.NET Framework, allows the deployment of Windows-based rich client apps by placing the application files on a Web or file server accessible to the client and providing the user with a link. This session covers Visual Studio 2005 deployment capabilities for online and offline application support, rolling back to previous versions of an application, listing an application in the Start Menu and control panel, .NET Framework redistribution, and zone-based debugging. Learn how to configure security to allow smart client applications to safely download and run.
