Deployment and distribution. NET application in two ways
(Technical Peak October 09, 2001 16:56)
Microsoft's. NET Plan is an exciting mammoth project, with the release of the Vs.net Beta2 version. NET technology also gradually tends to stabilize and shape, more and more companies and technology enthusiasts to invest. NET in the development, but now start early. NET learning and related development is a good time. However, there is a clear fact that all of them are based on. NET technology applications or products require. NET runtime support, because. NET is similar in program deployment and distribution, requiring support for the. NET Framework SDK (Java applications require JDK support to run), unfortunately, There is no built-in. NET SDK for the current Win9x series and the winnt/2000 series, as it is not difficult to understand because. NET technology was released later than the various operating systems mentioned above, and even the upcoming Windows XP will not have the. NET SDK built in.
Although, without the support of the. NET SDK, even a simple print on the screen "hello,world! "Applications are not working, we cannot ask users to manually install the. NET SDK that will be near 120M before they can run our own developed applications!" There is no easier release. NET application method? The answer is yes, we will provide two kinds of right to deploy and publish. NET application methods.
Use vs.net to deploy and distribute. NET Applications
There is no doubt that VS. NET is a very powerful and fast integrated development environment (IDE) for developing. NET applications, and Microsoft has always been perfect with its own application technology, and of course, I think only Microsoft can really achieve seamless convergence with. NET technologies.
Let's look at how to use vs.net to deploy and distribute. NET applications. For ease of explanation, let's illustrate a very simple Windows application: Simply place a button on the screen.
We develop. NET Application test environment is: Windows2000 Server Chinese version (SP2) +vs.net Beta2 Chinese version.
First step:
Based on the original project, create a new project and select the installation and deployment project, as shown in the following illustration:

Note the red mark in the image above, especially the option "Add to Solution", because it is the only way to put the deployment project and our own application into the same "solution".
