Elements and Attributes

The deployment element is required and is in the asmv2 namespace. The element has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
`Install`	Required. Specifies whether this application defines a presence on the Windows Start menu and in the Control Panel Add or Remove Programs application. Valid values are true and false. If false, ClickOnce will always run the latest version of this application from the network, and will not recognize the `subscription` element.
`minimumRequiredVersion`	Optional. Specifies the minimum version of this application that can run on the client. If the version number of the application is less than the version number supplied in the deployment manifest, the application will not run. Version numbers must be specified in the format N.N.N.N, where N is an unsigned integer. If the `install` attribute is false, `minimumRequiredVersion` must not be set.
`mapFileExtensions`	Optional. Defaults to false. If true, all files in the deployment must have a .deploy extension. ClickOnce will strip this extension off these files as soon as it downloads them from the Web server. If you publish your application by using Visual Studio, it automatically adds this extension to all files. This parameter allows all the files within a ClickOnce deployment to be downloaded from a Web server that blocks transmission of files ending in "unsafe" extensions such as .exe.
`disallowUrlActivation`	Optional. Defaults to false. If true, prevents an installed application from being started by clicking the URL or entering the URL into Internet Explorer. If the `install` attribute is not present, this attribute is ignored.
`trustUrlParameters`	Optional. Defaults to false. If true, allows the URL to contain query string parameters that are passed into the application, much like command-line arguments are passed to a command-line application. For more information, see How to: Retrieve Query String Information in a ClickOnce Application. If the `disallowUrlActivation` attribute is true, `trustUrlParameters` must either be excluded from the manifest, or explicitly set to false.

The deployment element also contains the following child elements.

subscription

Optional. Contains the update element. The subscription element has no attributes. If the subscription element does not exist, the ClickOnce application will never scan for updates. If the install attribute of the deployment element is false, the subscription element is ignored, because a ClickOnce application that is launched from the network always uses the latest version.

update

Required. This element is a child of the subscription element and contains either the beforeApplicationStartup or the expiration element. beforeApplicationStartup and expiration cannot both be specified in the same deployment manifest.

The update element has no attributes.

beforeApplicationStartup

Optional. This element is a child of the update element and has no attributes. When the beforeApplicationStartup element exists, the application will be blocked when ClickOnce checks for updates, if the client is online. If this element does not exist, ClickOnce will first scan for updates based on the values specified for the expiration element. beforeApplicationStartup and expiration cannot both be specified in the same deployment manifest.

expiration

Optional. This element is a child of the update element, and has no children. beforeApplicationStartup and expiration cannot both be specified in the same deployment manifest.

The expiration element supports the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
`maximumAge`	Required. Identifies how old the current update should become before the application performs an update check. The unit of time is determined by the `unit` attribute.
`unit`	Required. Identifies the unit of time for `maximumAge`. Valid units are hours, days, and weeks.

deploymentProvider

Required if the deployment manifest contains a subscription section; otherwise, optional. This element is a child of the deployment element and has the following attribute.

Attribute	Description
`codeBase`	Required. Identifies the location, as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), of the deployment manifest that is used to update the ClickOnce application. This element also allows for forwarding update locations for CD-based installations. Must be a valid URI.

Remarks

You can configure your ClickOnce application to scan for updates on startup, scan for updates after startup, or never check for updates. To scan for updates on startup, ensure that the beforeApplicationStartup element exists under the update element.

To scan for updates after startup, ensure that the expiration element exists under the update element, and that the update intervals you want are provided.

To disable checking for updates, remove the subscription element. When you specify in the deployment manifest to never scan for updates, you can still manually check for updates by using the CheckForUpdate method.

Examples

The following code example illustrates a deployment element in a ClickOnce deployment manifest. The example uses a deploymentProvider element to indicate the preferred update location. The code example is part of a larger example provided for the ClickOnce Deployment Manifest topic.

<deployment install="true" minimumRequiredVersion="2.0.0.0" mapFileExtension="true" trustUrlParameters="true">
    <subscription>
      <update>
        <expiration maximumAge="6" unit="hours" />
      </update>
    </subscription>
    <deploymentProvider codebase="http://www.adatum.com/MyApplication.application" />
  </deployment>
