ClickOnce Deployment Resource Kit

I have read 2 very good books that cover ClickOnce Deployment. Both are very good overviews of ClickOnce.

They are:
Smart Client Deployment with ClickOnce: Deploying Windows Forms Applications with ClickOnce (Microsoft .NET Development Series) by Brian Noyes
And
Deploying .NET Applications: Learning MSBuild and ClickOnce (Expert's Voice in .Net) by Sayed Y. Hashimi and Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi

ClickOnce Deployment Resource Kit
If however you do not what to spend the $30.00 to by the books, you should check out the ClickOnce Deployment Resource Kit found on the CodePlex Smart Client Software Factory home page. I thought I would point it out, because I have been overlooking it until last night, and thought that others have done the same.

There is a paper is written by Brian Noyes, the author of the first book listed above, included with the download. The ClickOnce Deployment Resource Kit also includes 2 code projects, the ClickOnce Deployment Repository and the Manifest Manager Utility.

The topics covered in the paper are:
ClickOnce Deployment Modes
ClickOnce Update Options
ClickOnce Publishing Process
Publishing Scenarios
ClickOnce Deployment Architecture
Deploying for Multiple Groups
Handling High Deployment Server Load
Implementing a Custom ClickOnce Server File Repository
Deployment Activities
How to: Publish an Initial Version of a Composite UI Application Block Application
How to: Deploy an Initial Version of a Composite UI Application Block Application
How to: Publish an Updated Version of a Composite UI Application Block Application
How to: Deploy an Updated Version of a Composite UI Application Block Application
How to: Move an Application to a Different Server
How to: Add On-Demand Programmatic Update to an Application
How to: Publish Two Different Versions of an Application for Two Different Groups
How to: Restrict Access to Different Versions Based on User Role
How to: Apply New Module Updates at a Future Time in a Composite UI Application Block Application

If the paper doesn't give enough detail, I would suggest buying Brian's book.

The ClickOnce Deployment Resource Kit can be downloaded from this page, or directly by clicking here.

Just an FYI.... the kit's information is included in the SCSF download. They have integrated the information into the help documentation that is found in the paper mentioned above, but it is not as print friendly.
