No touch deployment

[Tord Lindberg]

What's the deal with this new functionality.

Is it worth trying or just another technology from Microsoft that's not
worth the time learning/using?

The idea behind no-touch deployment is to make a windows forms application
almost as easy to deploy as a web application. You deploy your application
to your web server and your users access the application through a link in a
web page. .NET notices that the link points to a .NET EXE assembly so it
downloads the file and executes it locally (with restricted permissions by
default). The next time you click the link to run the program .NET will note
that file is already in the download cache and run it from there.

Hi Tord,

It is planned for the next version of Visual Studio Net.

Which means it is not now and therefore if you want it now you have to do
something more.

I hope this helps?

It is planned for the next version of Visual Studio Net.

Partially, it's already avalable for web applications.
