Smart Client

[Guest]

I have a Windows Forms application that can run as a SmartClient.

I am able to share the application .exe over a LAN by doing the following:
1) Create a reaonly share on the folder that contains the .exe
2) Have network users connect to the share and run the .exe

This all works, but leaves a couple of things to be desired:

1) The share shows all the assemblies in the folder. This is kind of ugly. I would prefer that the user only see the .exe and not all the other .exes and .dlls in the folder. (Any suggestions)?

2) I would like to expose the .exe in a web page. I tried adding the .exe as a hyperlink in a web page. But when the user selects the hyperlink, they get an ugly message about how executables can be dangerous for their system.

What is the recommended way to publish a Windows Forms Smart App?

Can anyone point to an example of a .exe that is deployed in a web page?

Thanks

We got around the "executables can be dangerous" message by changing
the code-trusting settings for each local machine. I don't know if that's the
correct or recommended way.
