Hi guys, We will be embarking on an Application developement project (.NET 3.5) for a large organization. As we started thinking about the upgrades we would be giving across the machines, we are looking at options like ClickOnce. What we need is a push model, as long as the client machine is connected to the network, the server can se...
I'm thinking through a potential WPF application and have gained a reasonable understanding of what XBAPs, how they are deployed, limited trust and so on. The application I am considering probably wiill require fuller trust than an XBAP allows by default and also use of WCF with WS bindings etc. Hence I'm leaning towards the stand alon...
In Visual Studio, are there any real differences between a "Release" build of an application, and a published version of the same application? I have an ugly memory leak that's creeping up only in the published version installed via ClickOnce. The same leak does not occur in the "Release" build if I run the executable from the project/b...
I work on a project consisting of a server and a client application deployed via ClickOnce. The client is installed the first time an user clicks a http://...file.application link, and the interaction with the user during installation are minimal (just the standard ClickOnce install/don't install dialog box). One of our client wants to...
I am hosting my ClickOnce deployment with Amazon S3. How can I secure (or restrict) only to my users (network). I was looking to see if I can restrict by IP but Amazon does not provide that with S3. Any recommendations? My users are all on a Windows domain. ...
I'm currently looking at ClickOnce deployment for our WPF application and was wondering, is it possible to set the ProductName and PublishUrl separately for each build configuration in the project file?

I have successfully developed and deployed a ClickOnce application which registers an associated file extension, for instance *.abc. When I click on a file named x.abc or if I type x.abc from the command prompt, the ClickOnce application starts and I can retrieve the file through the dedicated API. I can also launch the application progr...
I've got a WPF app that references a WPF controls library. When I try to launch (myWindow.Show()) a window that is inside the control library, I get the following exception: InvalidDeploymentException Application identity not set. The bizarre thing is that I'm not doing a click once application, so why is it complaining about this? ...
I have come to the conclusion that SQL Server CE isn't a viable product. Between the versionsing issues and the impossibility of a non-administrator install it just doesn't work at my company. Off hand I'm thinking about Jet, Oracle Berkeley, and SQLite. Given that I'm using .NET with ClickOnce, what embedded database would you recommen...

I want to create a program that uses ClickOnce for installation and registers a file-association, and always only starts a single instance, so that if a file of that file extension is clicked again it will be sent to the first (already opened) program. Does anybody know of a good code-example of how to do that ? Please keep in mind the...
We have been using ClickOnce deployment for some time now and all has been fine until recently. We have one of our clients that is now deleting their clients Documents and Settings directories which inturn is totally erasing our clickonce cache. From what I have seen, there is no way of setting an alternate location for this, but many ...

I heard about System.Deployment and Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine name spaces. But I count find good doc to solve my problem. If you have one p...
We're looking at using ClickOnce deployment as a means of distributing our application, however, due to problems with bandwidth, we would need to deploy the application to multiple servers on the network rather than just one. I work for a bank and am wanting to roll out a WPF client to all of our branches, but the branch network is to...

I need to add plugins to my application which i want to download in a separate folder. for that i need to add a folder where all my plugins will be downloaded. Whenever any new plugin is available with the main application then it'll get downloaded in this custom folder(sa...

Silverlight Out of Browser technology and WPF ClickOnce on the surface have similarities. Easy and simple deployment, the ability to specify the level of trust access to the underlying host, etc. What are the key issues I need to consider when choosing one over the other? To put a finer point on it, I'll be deploying LOB apps on a corp...
Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a batch file to publish the few ClickOnce application we have in one click.
