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_
folder has none encrypted connection string.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Why do I have duplicate app.config?
2. Why the connection string in the app.config that is in the _none_folder
is not encrypted?
Thanks for you time,

Hi ,
First of all thanks for your time.
Here is the senario details:
1. Build a windows Application.
2. Add an app.config file.
3. Use Clickonce to deploy the application.
In the deployed location you will find 2 folder containing the app.config.
One with the encrypted conection string and an other folder named
something_none_ something with an app.cofig that is not encrypted.
Again thanks for your time.
Hi Avishay,
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but one thing that can happen is that
the app.config. and Settings.settin gs files can get out of sync. Usually, you
can resync them by just double-clicking the Project -Properties ->
Settings.settin gs file. Letting these files get out of sync can really be
tough to figure out with Click-Once. Just open both files with an editor and
verify each node has the same value in both files.
Click-Once is great, but there are scenarios where it just doesn't work.
Personally, I found the following book really helpful:
Smart Client Deployment with ClickOnce by Brian Noyes
Hope that helps!

Each flavor will also have one or more standalone executables that can be

hi,
I created a setup file using the Publish Wizard in Visual Studio 2005 and
installed the software in the client machine. Now I want to update some of
the installed files in the client machine with NEW ones.
Is there anyway that it can be done automatically without i telling the user
which files to replace and which not.
Is creating a batch file a good option or their are other better options
available.
