Bloomington .NET User Group September Meeting

Deploying Smart Client Applications with ClickOnce

An organization is more likely to adopt a smart client architecture if it has an easy, flexible, low-effort way to deploy and maintain client applications on a user's desktop.  During this meeting, we will look at how Visual Studio 2008 (“Orcas”) can be used to deploy SmartClient applications in this manner using ClickOnce.  ClickOnce also provides built-in protections during installation and at runtime for the machine on which you are deploying the application.  We will discuss what
security mechanisms are available, how they work, and how to best utilize them for a number of scenarios.  We will also discuss and demonstrate how ClickOnce isolates applications and how permissions are granted.  We also show how to use the Trusted Application Deployment technology to deploy applications with elevated privileges on a user’s machine, based on either user prompting or trusted publishers.

Presenter: Pete Maroun, Application Development Consultant, Microsoft
