Desktop shortcut...

[Ajb2528]

Hi!

I found some code (can't remember where!) that creates a desktop shortcut in code. The problem with this is that I am using click-once deployment and clicking on the desktop shortcut does not invoke the update of the application when it is required.

Does anyone know how to create a desktop shortcut that will invoke the click-once update system? I'm using VB.Net2005.

Any help will be appreciated!

Regards,

Alan

You can simply copy the icon out of the start menu onto the desktop.

Find the icon in the start menu, right click and select Send To - Desktop.

This will still invoke the Click-Once updater.

Thanks for the reply... but I already knew that... what I am trying to do is make the desktop short cut that I have created in code invoke the click-once updater...
