Module 10: Deploying Applications

This document discusses deploying applications in .NET. It covers describing assemblies using strong names, choosing a deployment strategy like copying projects or using Windows Installer, and deploying applications by creating merge module, setup, or web setup projects. Descriptions of assemblies explain how they form deployment units that can be versioned and shared using the global assembly cache. Choosing a strategy involves considerations like no-impact deployment, private components, and side-by-side versions. Deploying applications demonstrates creating projects for merge modules, setups, and web applications.

Module 10: Deploying

Applications
Overview

 Describing Assemblies
 Choosing a Deployment Strategy
 Deploying Applications
 Describing Assemblies

 Assemblies Overview
 Benefits of Strong-Named Assemblies
 Creating Strong-Named Assemblies
 Versioning Strong-Named Assemblies
 Using the Global Assembly Cache
Assemblies Overview

 Contains code, resources, and metadata


 Provides security, type, and reference scope
 Forms a deployment unit
 Versionable
 Side-by-side execution allows multiple installed versions
 Global assembly cache allows assembly sharing
Benefits of Strong-Named Assemblies

 Guaranteed uniqueness
 No two strong names can be the same
 Protected version lineage
 Only legitimate assembly versions can be loaded
 Enforced assembly integrity
 Assemblies are tested for unauthorized modification
before loading
Creating Strong-Named Assemblies

 Requires identity, public key, and digital signature


 Generating the public-private key pair
 Create a .snk file
 Modify AssemblyInfo.vb

<Assembly:
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("KeyFile.snk")>
AssemblyKeyFile("KeyFile.snk")>
Versioning Strong-Named Assemblies

 When a client makes a binding request, the runtime checks:


 The original binding information inside the assembly
 Configuration files for version policy instructions
 Use a publisher policy file to redirect the binding request

<bindingRedirect
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0"
oldVersion="1.0.0.0"
newVersion="1.0.1.0"/>
newVersion="1.0.1.0"/>
Using the Global Assembly Cache

 Performance
 Quicker binding
 Only one instance ever loaded
 Shared location
 Can use machine configuration file to redirect bindings
 File security
 Only administrators can delete files
 Side-by-side versioning
 Can install multiple copies using different version
information
 Choosing a Deployment Strategy

 Deployment Overview
 Copying Projects
 Deploying Projects
 Types of Deployment Projects
Deployment Overview

 No-impact applications
 Private components
 Side-by-side versioning
 XCOPY deployment
 On-the-fly updates
 Global assembly cache
Copying Projects

 Copying a project
 There is an extra menu command for Web applications
 You can copy a project directly to a Web server
 Using the XCOPY command
 Use the DOS command
 You can use it for any type of application
Deploying Projects

 Windows Installer
 Is used for Windows-based and Web-based deployment
 Copies all required files and registers components
 Configures IIS for Web-based applications
 Merge modules
 Are used for reusable components
 Are included in an .msi file
Types of Deployment Projects

 Cab Project – for downloading from Web server


 Merge Module Project – for shared components
 Setup Project – for Windows-based applications
 Setup Wizard – to walk through deployment project creation
 Web Setup Project – for Web-based applications
 Deploying Applications

 Creating a Merge Module Project


 Creating a Setup Project
 Using the Editors
 Creating Installation Components
 Deploying the Application
Creating a Merge Module Project

 Never installed directly – included in client application


deployment project
 Contains
 DLL
 Any dependencies and resources
 Information for the Windows Installer
 Store one component only in one merge module
 If component changes, create a new merge module
Lab 10.1: Packaging a Component Assembly
Creating a Setup Project

 Creates a blank setup project with relevant folders in File


System Editor
 Windows-based application  Web-based application
 Application Folder  Web Application Folder
 User’s Desktop
 User’s Programs Menu
Using the Editors

 Registry
 File types
 User interface
 Custom actions
 Launch conditions
Creating Installation Components

 EventLog
 MessageQueue
 PerformanceCounter
 Service
 ServiceProcess
Deploying the Application

 Windows-based setup project


 Copies all files
 Registers components
 Performs other installation tasks
 Web setup project
 Copies all files
 Registers components
 Creates a Web application
