Hi,
I'm using ClickOnce for all of my installations and updates. However, when I modify any of the datasets in my application, when a user downloads the new update, all their data saved in their particular database is lost. After searching Google, I found a workaround to this. If I exclude the database file from the update, everything is fine, kind of. The problem is, if I exclude the database file from future updates, then if someone tries to install the application while these updates exists on the server, ClickOnce goes right to the latest version during installation and the installation fails because there is no database file within that update.
Now I do have a separate installation directory and I was under the impression that for every new installation, ClickOnce would first download those files in the installation directory and then check for any updates in the updates directory. If I could only get ClickOnce to install those files located in the installation directory first and then check for updates, everything would work fine. Has anyone else come across this problem and found a solution.
Thanks,
Andrew

I've been playing around with ClickOnce today, and it's all good stuff.
Except, that if I change my application to NOT be full trust (which seems to
make very little difference to the user prompt, which scares me!) but to be
installed on the start menu, it seems I don't have permission to call
CheckForUpdate()!
I understand that if I'm not a full trust app, I can't read the filesystem
etc., but not being able to update myself seems a bit...

Is this possible using ClickOnce or does the user always get prompted

I am using ClickOnce to distribute a program. It works well except for one
detail. When a new version is installed, the program does not initialize
properly immediately after the update. The sequence is the user starts the
program, is informed a new version is ready, installs it, when it is complete
and the main form is displayed, the user needs close the form, and restarts
the program to the form to initialize properly.

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

The problem is that not all the clients are in the same local network, so,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
