Our config file contains info which is different for every pc. In our config file we have settings like COMPORT number for device X,Y and other pc device specific setting.We would like to keep our ClickOnce deployment without having our .config file overwriten .I've checked the "Application Files" option but I saw no way how to exclude the .config file from the publication.
View 1 RepliesIm trying to deploy an application by using clickonce and having some difficulties with it. In a class i have this function
Private AD As ApplicationDeployment
Private updateCheck As UpdateCheckInfo
Public Function SoftwareUpdate() As Boolean
[code]....
When i create my code on a form (to run the function above) i receive the error "Object not set to an instance" I try to add New to my declaration but then receive the error "Application Deployment has no constructors". Im not sure what im doing wrong or how i should go about this.it does not go past the line AD = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment i decided to leave the remaining code
We are using ClickOnce Technology to deploy our applications using In Place Hosting Manager.I install Ver 1.0.0.0 for an application XYZ. More upgrades happen and I install till Ver 1.0.0.7. At this point the minimum required version is set to Ver 1.0.0.5. But,now I want to move back to Ver 1.0.0.3.Will In Place Hosting Manager install Ver 1.0.0.3 though we don't change the minimum required version? My motive is to only change the location of deployment manifest and keep on jumping across versions(Up and Down).

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
As far as I understand all default settings of app.config settings is hard coded in the application and will generated on the fly in the first run.
If this is true then there is no good reason to deploy these files with an installer or in a zip package, am I right?
Where is the location of ClickOnce Installation and what are the restrictions of ClickOnce Deployment?

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
I have a class library (Named ADI), that needs some configuration settings from the project using it (like connectionstring, filesystem locations etc).
I want to define these settings in my Windows Forms/Web Projects App.Config or Web.Config, like other settings.
Here is part of my app.config for my windows forms application:
<applicationSettings>
<PhotoImportRobot.My.MySettings>
<setting name="ADIImageRoot" serializeAs="String">
[Code]....
is there any tool to validate configuration file?
View 1 RepliesOur main application has both a asp.net and winforms component. There is a class that is used by both sides and needs info from either the web.config or app.config files. The class itself does not know if it's on the client side or on the web server (at this point). We are getting errors when it's attempting read app.config when it's on the web side. Is there a way for the class to tell if it needs to read web.config or app.config?

View 4 RepliesI need to deploy this app and currently the installer the path goes something like "C:Program FilesManufacturerApp". I just want it to be "C:Program FilesApp" by default. I know I can change this manufacturer from the properties for the project, but I want it to go away altogether. The setup project won't build with it gone.

I don't stop the database or run any additional tools to promote to production. It's a small company, and this seems fine. What's wrong with this technique in your opinion?
I made an app that uses a Access Db extensively(will be changed to sql later). I have hard coded the location of the db into the app,i use one click to deploy the program and then i manually copy the database into the location.

View 2 RepliesI have an old ClickOnce program, which has been replaced by a new one I wrote, and I am aware that some people are still using the old one.I want to somehow remotely remove it from every computer where it is still being used (there are far too many to manually find them).
View 2 RepliesWhen I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 Windows Forms application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly WindowsBase Version 3.0.0.0 be installed in the GAC first."
When I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 WPF application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance."
Installing .NET 3.5 manualy on the machine solves both problems so it is clear that they both complain about the missing .NET 3.5 that's needed by the app. But why doesn't the ClickOnce installer bootstrap the .NET 3.5 and automaticaly intall it if needed? I set it as a prerequisite but it seems to be ignored. And why is this error so much more criptic and unhelpfull in WPF?
After 18 years of experience developing in VB you have succesfully made this the most difficult deployment method possible

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to publish an application online that will auto-update, as updates will be rather frequent, and I don't want users to have to reinstall every week when a new update is released.However, my host does not support FPE, but I'd still like to use ClickOnce. I found a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

i would like to ask if it is possible to implement clickonce like in vb2008 in vb.net 2003?..example:i have a button "Update" in my application running on local machine...if i click it it will check the remote server if there is an update of that app.if yes then download it an change the application on local machine...
View 3 RepliesHow do I use it to give updates? I tried googleing but it didnt explain well
View 3 RepliesI have created several small applications that use my own DLL. The problem is, this DLL is constantly changing. My current solution to this problem is that I have a Setup project in the class library solution that creates and registers the DLL. In all my applications I then have to open the solution and re-reference the newly created/registered DLL. Then I have to re-compile their setup projects, uninstall the old applications, and then re-install the new application.
There has to be a better way and I'm just not sure because I'm fairly new to all this. I have looked into ClickOnce but I don't think that will solve my issue as I cannot publish a class library. I have looked into checking version numbers but I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't work either.I understand that once a DLL is created and being used in an application it should essentially not be touched. I do not have that option in this situation. It is constantly updated. Done.
Edit: The DLL is not constantly changing during runtime but it is constantly evolving to allow more functionality and detail within the other applications. Also, one big thing I guess I should have mentioned is the Public interface is constantly chaning - usually adding new methods.
I have created a PowerPoint addin using the steps from this article: Using RibbonX from Visual Basic
The plugin works fine when I start the project using F5 in Visual Studio 2005. But if I try to use the installer created by the setup project that is automatically added to the solution, the plug-in won't show when I run powerpnt.exe
Is there something I missed? Do I need to make some modifications to the installer?
I've developed a vb.net app which works great on my dev machine, both within the IDE and as a compiled executable. But when I deploy it to a user workstation, I receive the following:
