Using clickOnce to download just the small updates

[steve_rm]

Hello,

VS 2008

I have been using clickOnce to publish my application to the client. The application is large but the updates that I have been implementing are only very small.

The client is wondering why they have to spend time downloading the complete application which takes time, instead downloading just the small updates, which would be very quick?

Is there a way to adjust clickOnce once so that it will download the parts of the application that has been changed?

Going through the wizard I cannot see any option to change this.

Many thanks,

Steve

I'm no .Net guy, but it looks like you need to change the way you compile your applications: How ClickOnce Performs Application Updates (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404267.aspx).

For data, it seems even a properly patched package will always result in everything being downloaded.
