Is anyone familiar with that Automatic/Automated Update feature for .NET
WinForms apps which essentially allow a user to hit a server for their data
(even over the Internet) possibly and have their .NET WinForms apps get
updated automatically?

Can someone tell breifly how this works and if there isan article online
explaining how to set this up in detail?
 
Aaron,

The built-in name for this is call "No-Touch Deployment" where you xcopy
your application to a web folder and then configure the folder to support
No-Touch Deployment. I found the attached article to be very helpful. If
you have any questions please ask, this feature is not very well documented
and it appears to me that the app must orginally be setup for xcopy
deployment only (e.g. no use of the GAC)
