What type of application is this for?

If a normal winform you might want to take a look at click once deployment
which includes most of this .. If for other types of applications there are
numerous libraries that are available to do this.

Dear Group If you want to perform a slipstreamed install of .NET Framework 1.1, including Service Pack 1, here's how. First, what do we mean by slipstreamed install? It means that version 1.1 of the framework will be installed, with the service pack 1 update already applied, "slipstreamed". There will be no need to download additional updates or install service packs as a secondary step.

Hi there, Is it possible to load a web service dynamically? i.e. If the web service were to exist on a system with a non static IP address, an application could download a "locator" file that contained details of it's whereabouts, I have been looking at the "Discovery.DynamicDiscoveryDocument" class but I think think this is what I am looking for is it? Thanks in advance. Nick.

Hello All: We've developed a Windows Service that is responsible for checking for updates and downloading them. It then installs the updates by running a seperate console executable. This console app communicates status message back to the service via TCPListener/TCPClient code and works fine if we run the app from the command line. However, it is halting when it opens the socket when it is started from the service usin the...

Is there a way to automatically update a Windows .NET service, kind of like Click-Once or put a file in the directory and the service would restart it's self and replace the executables or at least replace its DLLs without restarting? I know it's posible, (anything is posible) but is there anything already in place? Thank You Peter

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
