Debugging a ClickOnce deployed application

ClickOnce deployment appears to install applications on the local machine
using an obfuscated location. I have an application that contances Trace
statements that can be turned on by setting a TraceSwitch level in the
config file... but here is the problem... I can't find the config file when
a remote user is having a problem.

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Have your program show you the application.pat h, either as an option off the
menu, about screen or control key combination.

Hey all, we have a project that we would like to use ClickOnce deployment on, and although it all seems straightforward we are having a few issues concerning SQL Server Express and clickonce. We are using C# for our development language, and the application itself runs fine until we get to a part that accesses the database. When it tries to hit the database it bombs saying it can't find it. We even created a connection string that...

While ASP.Net is migrating toward more robust presentation by using things like AJAX I am wondering if ClickOnce will errode a lot of ASP.Net presence in Corporate Applications. I've been reading a lot about ClickOnce and it seems compelling particularily since Vista will have the .Net framework included along with the other requirements for ClickOnce deployment. Is there some downside to ClickOnce deployment that I'm now aware of? ...

Hi I have a rather advanced deployment scenario and wanted to know, if anyone has an idea how to accomplish that with ClickOnce: We are deploying a 3-tier application with a client connecting to web services, which then connect to a database. The tiers are all on different nodes and we have around 1000 client users. We currently deploy the web services with Wise and adjust the database (cluster) manually. The clients should be...

Hello Gurus, Is it possible to schedule a task to run an application deployed using ClickOnce? The executable changes location with each update.. and if i were to run the executable directly, it's not considered as a network deployed application and it's not able to use any of the update features programatically.. any ideas? workarounds? thank you,

Does anyone know how to debug a clickonce deployed application. I am trying to write a module for all our applications that will check for updates and update the program asynchronously and notify user when the update is done and have them restart. However, when I debug it, I keep getting the error "Application is not installed." I have created a version 1.0 of the application and deployed it to my local drive, but no luck. Anyone have...

Hello guys, There is an application (c# @ vs2005 SP1) that needs to be deployed in a very controlled way. ClickOnce was selected to do this task. This application works over a database and, some times, this database needs to be updated together with the code. The problem is that not all the clients are in the same local network, so, secondary servers were deployed using windows services to transfer the

Hi, I have an application that I am encrypting the connection strings on the first run of the application. I am using clickonce to deploy the application, so this was a good solution as the application is immediately run and the config file is encrypted immediately. How ever, when the application is deployed a second directory with "_none_" in the name is created and the app.config is copied there too.The app.config in the _none_...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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.
