ClickOnce & branch of versions

[Joe]

Hello to all!

I have an interessting question here concerning ClickOnce technology.

I have a .NET 3.5 Windows application that is deployed on client
computer via ClickOnce. The version is 1.0.0.0. Now I want my users to
get the lastest updates for the 1.X.X.X versions. That is not a
problem and easy to do. Of course. However when the time will come to
upgrade to 2.0.0.0 I want every clients with the 1.X.X.X installed TO
NOT UPGRADE to the lastest version. In other words I want to force
them to buy the new 2.0.0.0 version and the subsequent upgrades like
2.1.0.0 etc. The same for version 3.0.0.0 and so on.

Is there a way to implement this easily using ClickOnce? I must read
on ClickOnce because I am new to it. But I ask you here to save some
time maybe. I think about some code in the main just before the
ClickOnce start updating. A version check can be done there.

Thanks a lot.
Joe

Don't multi-post. If you want to post to multiple newsgroups, post to all of
them at once, so if the question is answered in one group, it shows up in
the other ones.

I answered this in microsoft.public.dotnet.general.
