ClickOnce Deployment in .NET Framework 2.0

However with the release of Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft has released a new technology named ClickOnce that is designed to solve the deployment issues for a windows forms application. This new technology not only provides an easy application installation mechanism but also enables easy deployment of upgrades to existing applications. This article will demonstrate how to take advantage of the excellent features of the ClickOnce deployment technology by discussing examples on how to utilize this new feature.
