BOb,

>>True, but now you have to create the loader stub on your own. The new "click once" does this for you. They even load the .Net framework on the users machine if it isn't there.

Yeah, that is way cool ... I just didn't want anyone to think that it wasn't at least do-able right now.

>>I hope to start using it in January

I got the beta, but haven't had time to load it anywhere, plus I need a clean, empty machine to put it on. I suppose I should start playing with it one of these days (my middle name is "procrastinate" <g>).

You can also publish to the web site right from VS. I also kinda think his project is far enough away to start using VS 2005. Pretty cool stuff.
