Summary
This chapter provided an introduction to the various tools available within Visual Studio for deploying both client applications and server-side, ASP.NET applications. For client applications, we covered an overview of the two principal deployment technologies, ClickOnce and Windows Installer, and discussed the specific reasons why you might choose one over the other. We explored these two technologies in-depth by examining how to use Visual Studio to publish a sample WinForms application using both methods.
We also discussed the tools available for deploying ASP.NET websites and web applications from a local machine off to a web server, and demonstrated the tools within the IDE for accomplishing the same.
