Web page for VS2008 ClickOnce automatic updates
I am relatively new to VS2008 and only have the free Express version with ClickOnce deployment. I have developed an app which is deployed on large numbers of netbooks carried by our surveyors in the field, and would like some pointers on how to get going with the option for automatic updates ove the web.
It seems to need a "web page with Front Page Server Extensions". The company runs a Linux web server and the guys who administer it have no knowledge of FPSE, so that route is closed. I have identified another UK based web host that does offer the facility as standard.
However what is really baffling me is that when I try to compile the application and tick the box to check for automatic updates, it will not let me go any further unless I provide the URL for the actual page it is going to get them from. So it appears that the page has to have been built before the app can be compiled in this way. But I have absolutely no clue what HTML or other content the page has to have, and cannot find any advice anywhere on this. What I need is some directions as to what to put on the page to get it ready for whatever VB2008 is going to send to it, or preferably a sample.
Does anyone out there know where I can look?
