Autodeploy the Easy Way

Visual Studio Magazine

Like most people, you have probably run into deployment issues with COM and ActiveX components in the past. This is one of the biggest problems Microsoft developers face. Microsoft .NET tackles this issue head-on by avoiding the Windows registry and providing a strong versioning scheme for assemblies (components). Better still, with just a couple lines of code, you can autodeploy assemblies to the client. This means that all the DLLs containing your application's UI and business logic will download automatically to the client machine, with no effort on your part.

Egg Head Cafe

One of the exciting things about the .NET revolution is Microsoft's apparent attempts to combine the power of Windows programming with the flexibility and reach of Internet programming. I see this as a very positive effort that has the potential of changing (for the better) many of the programming paradigms that have developed over the past several years. This article will deal with some of my findings regarding a technique in .NET that Microsoft has dubbed, "auto deployment".
