Summary
This chapter described how to build deployment packages with ClickOnce, the one-click deployment technology included in the .NET Framework. You saw how to use the Publish Wizard to create a setup procedure in a few steps. Then you learned how you can configure the deployment options with the Visual Studio designer, including allowing automatic updates and adding publisher information. You then stepped through security considerations required so that you can understand what happens on the target machines. Finally, the discussion focused on how to programmatically interact with ClickOnce by writing Visual Basic code taking advantage of the System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment class.
