TheServerSide.NET has a nice summary of what’s new in the Updater Application Block 2.0 from the new Enterprise Library on GDN. If you're not using ClickOnce from Windows Forms 2.0 yet (maybe because we haven't shipped it yet...), the Updater AppBlock is your next best bet.

MS Survey: Partial Trust and Code Access Security

As Microsoft gets nearer the gate on the .NET Framework 2.0 and ClickOnce, we want to make double-sure we understand if and how you're using/would like to use partial trust and code access security (CAS). It would be a great help for anyone building .NET applications, whether they're web or Windows, whether you're using partial trust and/or CAS or not, to take this survey so that we can make sure that we've got your needs covered. With ClickOnce, we've come a long way from my initial set of No-Touch Deployment complaints, but that doesn't mean we're where we need to be. Thanks for helping!

Let MS make sure your .NET 1.x app run on .NET 2.0

Assuming you don’t have the luxury of dipping the machines your .NET 1.x applications run on in Lucite, you are going to have to make sure that your apps run under .NET 2.0. Normally, that means testing your applications under .NET 2.0 and making changes. However, right now, Jay Roxe at Microsoft is beefing up the .NET 2.0 compatibility test suite, so if there are compatibility problems in your apps, there’s a good chance* that MS will actually apply fixes to the .NET 2.0 framework itself instead of requiring you to make changes to your app.

Jay’s especially interested in “corporate-scale” applications, but I’m sure he’ll consider whatever you’ve got. Don’t be shy! Get your apps into consideration for the .NET 2.0 compatibility test suite today!

* “good chance” == chance > 0, no guarantees, some restrictions apply, void where prohibited, use at your own risk, blah, blah, blah…
