Deploying a WinForm application
-
Hi! I created a "thin client" for a web service -- basically a simple C# Windows Form that connects to the web service and let the user interact with it. Now I'd like to deploy that, but to make it easy for the client, I would prefer if they could simply download and execute the exec from a web page instead of having to install it using a Windows Installer (I used to create one using VS7 before). Basically I'd like to have an ActiveX-like or Java applet-like deployment style for my windows form. Does anybody think that is possible at all? R/

Yes it is possible. It is called no touch deployment See this article for more info http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchNo-TouchDeploymentInNETFramework.asp
