On Wednesday February 8, 2006 Kate Gregory will be presenting an Advanced Click Once topic at the monthly Triangle .Net User Group meeting as an INETA guest speaker, that will take us much deeper than the previous VS2005/Click Once demos that have been shown. I've had the privilege of hearing Kate speak a few times in the past and can guarantee this will be a must see event. She is an extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable presenter. See you there!
Smart clients offer many advantages over web applications but they must be deployed and installed on the end-user’s computer. The new ClickOnce technology in Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0 makes this much simpler than it once was – at least in demos. What happens when ClickOnce meets the real world? How can you combine ClickOnce with SMS, or with an MSI install that updates the registry? How can you ensure the prerequisites for your application, including the framework itself, are on the end-user’s computer? This talk will cover these and other advanced ClickOnce scenarios.Kate Gregory is the Microsoft Regional Director for Toronto and a founding partner of Gregory Consulting Limited (www.gregcons.com).
