Almost certainly not going to have time for this, pri dropped for now.
Comment 4 by lwhit...@hdgreetings.com, Mar 05, 2009
Vote for setting to Low priority.

Click once is definitely a corner case feature not used by most .NET developers, and
most likely will stay a niche.

2 cents.
Comment 5 by promit.roy, Mar 05, 2009
Agreed.

What exactly do we mean by "ClickOnce support" anyway? The IDE does not support the 
Publish target for class library assemblies...
Comment 7 by promit.roy, Mar 12, 2009
What I had in mind was that hitting Publish on a SlimDX based app would cause the 
Redist package to be rolled up into whatever ClickOnce creates.
Comment 8 by josh.petrie, Mar 13, 2009
It turns out what I mentioned in IRC wasn't entirely correct anyway.

We can create a custom package by way of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429.aspx and install that, this should
allow users to bundle the SlimDX redist into the setup.exe generated by ClickOnce
provided they manually check the box in their project's publish settings. I presume
we'd want to support it for both VS 2005 and VS 2008, which means installing
product.xml and package.xml (which may have slightly different formats) to two
locations. The guide for 2005 is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429(VS.80).aspx

I'll look into this this weekend.

It's on my theoretical to-do list for next week actually!
Comment 13 by lwhit...@hdgreetings.com, Aug 18, 2009
Another vote NOT to do this feature.  Reasons are:

- Doesn't work on Firefox without a special plugin, and even then the FF click-once
plug-in has become a source of bitterness and controversy for FireFox users.  Also
has lesser support for other browsers on Windows (Chrome/Safari).

- It's non-standard.  Yes DirectX itself is non standard but it's not inherently tied
to the Internet space where non-standard things are the biggest problem.

- Most .NET developers do not use it for deployment.  It has a small following
relative to the .NET community as a whole.

Somebody just asked about this in IRC today.
Comment 16 by Mike.Popoloski, Nov 19, 2009
I still want this, and it's relatively easy to do.

I wants this.
Comment 18 by drilsej, Dec 15, 2009
I also vote for this, despite what the anti-feature guy says :)

ClickOnce is a ridiculously handy way to distribute little apps, and I would love to
package up my texture builder using it, except I would need slimdx support first :)
