Basic ClickOnce Concepts

Now that I have gone through some of the reasons why we need a better deployment model for Windows applications, I will cover how ClickOnce provides an answer. ClickOnce is a combination of a set of features in the .NET runtime (the CLR) and integrated design-time support in Visual Studio .NET. Together, the feature and the IDE tools allow you to create an application that can be automatically installed and updated. You have a great deal of flexibility as to how your application is deployed, launched, and updated. I cover each of those topics in more detail in future chapters, but I will cover these options briefly here as well.
