I'm in a bit of trouble here. I upgraded one of our Winforms products from VS2008 to VS2010 about 4 weeks ago. The conversion was fine but we used Crystal Reports so had to install the VS2010 Crsytal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. This was fine and gave me the designer etc. back for crystal. I chose not to convert the reports...
Client purchased a code-signing certificate, and it came with a .pvk file and a .spc file. I am familiar with the .pvk file, but Visual Studio doesn't recognize the .spc file. When I try to load the .spc file as the ClickOnce Certificate, a message box says "The selected file does not contain a private key. You must choose a certificate...

I have a .NET 3.5 SP1 WinForms application.

I have deployed Windows forms applications regularly via ClickOnce that are installed by users that are not local administrators on their machines. Is there a way to also deliver the .Net 4 Client Profile the same way? From what I have read, I am guessing the answer is no. But I'm also hoping there may be a clever alternative. ...
I have a COM component written in C# that implements ISmartTagAction to add actions to the right click menu for things like mail recipients and senders. It's just a .NET class library that exposes some classes through COM interop. Currently, I deploy this with a Visual Studio Setup project. That installer just registers the DLL for CO...
Hi all, I am writing a script to mimic the behaviour of the Visual Studio publish target for ClickOnce applications. I have got everything working well except for the part where build output executable and config files are renamed to ..deploy (e.g..exe.deploy). When I manually rename the files (using the ren command), I get warnings wh...
I use a custom numericUpDown control in my WPF application which works fine in my local development environment. However when i deploy my application the control looks strange, to be more specific, all the elements within the control seem to be in place but without the styles.

In Visual Studio 2008, can a the post build event be used with Click Once publishing? If so, how? Out of the box is looks like I can only use pre-build events and click once publishing seems to build the project to a different location, before the post build event is launched. ...
I'm working on an Excel 2003 addin (users will upgrade to newer Office, but not any time soon), and am wanting to use functionality to automatically check for a newer version, and deploy it if there is one. I can't use ClickOnce as that is Office 2007 (so VSTO v3) or better. I'd like to have some functionality that does this kind of ta...
How might I go about creating an application that does not need that "Publisher Cannot be verified" window. How can I get my WinForms app in a .exe file so that I can just click it and it runs, not asking me to do anything? maybe this can be done by disabling ClickOnce but how can you do that in VS2010 EXPRESS? ...
We build the application once, and then deploy it to multiple sites. I can install it from any of the deployed servers, but I cannot have it installed from multiple at the same time. I understand that this is a limitation of ClickOnce. Is there any way to trick ClickOnce into allowing this to work? Or any site-specific post-processin...
So I migrated from VS2008 to VS2010 with my clickonce application. I use to have the 2008 C++ redist as a prereq for my application. Upon moving to VS2010 that option no longer exists and the 2010 C++ redist will not do. I have successfully been able to re-add the 2008 redist into the Visual Studio 2010 prereqs list. My question is...

Specifically, SQL Express. I have an internal winform app that, if they have a laptop, needs to install SQL Express to enable certain functionality. Right now I am installing it for everyone as it doesn't 'hurt' the desktop users outside of the time it takes. I would like to have it install SQL after I detect if they are on a laptop. ...
