5. Full Trust and Partial Trust Applications Registry WPF Application WPF Application DNS Database Web Services Environment Variables SQL Server OLEDB Data Source File System Windows Event Log Unmanaged Code EnvironmentPermission Remote Servers SecurityPermission.U nmanagedCode SecurityPermission.U nmanagedCode WebPermission DNSPermission RegistryPermission RegistryPermission SqlClientPermission SocketsPermission SocketsPermission FileIOPermission FileIOPermission OleDbClientPermission EventLogPermission

6. WPF Features Available in Partial Trust General features: Web integration: Visual effects: Reading: Editing: Spelling checker and copy and paste Flow documents, XPS documents, and fonts 2-D and 3-D graphics, animation, media, audio, and video Browser window, isolated storage, commands, and simulated drag and drop Browser download dialog box, top-level navigation, and HTTP Web requests

7. WPF Features Unavailable in Partial Trust General features: Application-defined windows and dialog boxes, file system access, registry access, and Windows Forms interoperability Visual effects: Bitmap effects and image encoding Editing: Access to the RTF clipboard and full XAML support

8. XBAPs on the Local Intranet By default, XBAPs run with partial trust: Default Internet zone permission set If you launch an XBAP from the local intranet: The XBAP can take advantage of the LocalIntranet permission set LocalIntranet permissions grant access to additional resources: DNS Environment variables File dialog boxes Isolated storage Printing Reflection Security User interface

9. Features and Benefits of the.NET Framework Client Profile.NET Framework Client Profile: Is a subset of the.NET Framework optimized for client applications Enables you to create fast and small installation packages Does not require installation of the full version of the.NET Framework on client computers Features: CLR ClickOnce Windows Forms WPF and WCF Entity Framework Windows Workflow Foundation Speech XSLT support LINQ to SQL Runtime design libraries Managed Extensibility Framework Dynamic types Parallel programming Debugging client applications

10. Lesson 2: Deploying a Stand-Alone WPF Application Deploying a Stand-Alone Application by Using ClickOnce Deploying a Stand-Alone Application by Using Windows Installer Installing the.NET Framework 4

11. Deploying a Stand-Alone Application by Using ClickOnce To create a ClickOnce deployment: 1.Select the project that you want to deploy 2.On the Build menu, click Publish 3.Follow the steps in the Publish Wizard 4.Distribute the published location

12. Deploying a Stand-Alone Application by Using Windows Installer To create a Windows Installer Setup project: 1.Add a Setup project to your solution 2.Configure your application as an output project 3.Configure the properties of the Setup project 4.Add any additional files 5.Build the project 6.Distribute the.msi file

13. Installing the.NET Framework 4 To run a WPF application, the Microsoft.NET Framework 4 must be installed on the client computer For WPF browser-hosted applications launched from Windows Internet Explorer: If the.NET Framework is installed, Internet Explorer detects it If the.NET Framework is not installed, Internet Explorer downloads it and installs it

14. Lesson 3: Deploying an XBAP XBAP Files That Must Be Deployed Manifest Files Publishing an XBAP to a Web Server Installing an XBAP on a Client Computer

15. XBAP Files That Must Be Deployed An XBAP is a compiled application that requires at least the following three files to be deployed: ApplicationName.exe ApplicationName.xbap ApplicationName.exe.manifest

16. Manifest Files An application manifest file describes: Application assemblies Dependent assemblies Permissions that are required by the application A deployment manifest file describes: Location Current version Update behavior Publisher identity Digital signature

17. Publishing an XBAP to a Web Server To deploy an XBAP by using ClickOnce deployment: 1.Select the project that you want to deploy 2.On the Build menu, click Publish 3.Follow the steps in the Publish Wizard 4.Distribute the published location To deploy an XBAP by using XCopy deployment: 1.Build the application 2.Copy the output files to the target Web server

18. Installing an XBAP on a Client Computer To deploy an XBAP by using XCopy deployment: 1.Build the application 2.Copy the output files to the target client computer To deploy an XBAP by using Windows Installer: 1.Add a Setup project to your solution 2.Configure your application as an output project 3.Configure the properties of the Setup project 4.Add any additional files 5.Build the project and distribute the.msi file

19. Lesson 4: Configuring Security Settings Manifest Generation and Editing Tools Using Mage.exe Using MageUI.exe Setting Properties for Application Manifests Setting Properties for Deployment Manifests Setting Properties for Application and Deployment Manifests Setting Signing Properties for Application and Deployment Manifests

20. Manifest Generation and Editing Tools You can use the Manifest Generation and Editing tools to create and edit manifest files: You can use Mage.exe and MageUI.exe to set: Mage.exe is a command-line tool MageUI.exe is an equivalent graphical tool Common properties in deployment and application manifests Application manifest properties Deployment manifest properties

21. -New Create a new deployment or application manifest file -Update Make changes to a manifest file -Sign Sign a manifest file by using a certificate -Help List all of the available commands and their options Using Mage.exe Mage.exe syntax Mage [commands] [commandOptions]

22. Using MageUI.exe

23. Setting Properties for Application Manifests -FromDirectory directoryPath Populates the application manifest with descriptions of all assemblies and files found in the directory path. Also creates a hash for each file to check that no tampering happens When used with the –Update command, removes files that no longer exist in the directory -IconFile filePath Specifies the full path to the icon file -TrustLevel level Specifies the level of trust to grant to the application on client computers -UseManifestForTrust willUseForTrust Specifies whether the signature of the manifest will be used for making trust decisions on the client

24. Setting Properties for Deployment Manifests -AppCodeBase manifestReference Inserts a URL or file path to the application manifest -AppManifest manifestPath Inserts a reference to a deployment’s application manifest -IncludeProviderURL url Indicates whether to include the update location -Install willInstall Indicates whether to install on the local computer or run from the Web -MinVersion [version] Specifies the minimum version of the application that a user can run -ProviderURL url Specifies the location to examine for application updates

25. Setting Properties for Application and Deployment Manifests -Name nameString Signifies the name used to identify the application -Publisher publisherName Adds the publisher name to the description element of the manifest -SupportURL uri Specifies the link to appear in Add or Remove Programs -ToFile filePath Specifies the output path of the file that has been created or modified -Version versionNumber Signifies the version of the deployment

26. Setting Signing Properties for Application and Deployment Manifests -CertFile filePath Specifies the location of an S509 digital certificate for signing the manifest -CertHash hashSignature Signifies the hash of a digital signature stored in the personal certificate store on the client computer -Password passwd Signifies the password used for signing the manifest file with a digital signature

27. Lab: Deploying Applications Exercise 1: Developing a Stand-Alone Installer Exercise 2: Configuring a ClickOnce Deployment Exercise 3: Updating a ClickOnce Deployment Logon information Estimated time: 60 minutes

28. Lab Scenario You have been asked to develop deployment packages for both the Product Inventory application and the Work Orders application. The Product Inventory application usage is isolated to a small number of users and is not updated very often; therefore, you are to develop a stand-alone installer for that application. However, the Work Orders application is used widely throughout the organization in many locations, with an active development and release cycle; therefore, you need to develop a ClickOnce deployment for that application.

29. Lab Review Review Questions Which project template enables you to create a Windows Installer package for an application? What do you need to do before you can configure an application for ClickOnce deployment from a UNC share? What happens if an application is configured to check for updates each time it runs and you modify the published application?
