Multi-part question in regards to functionality

I downloaded the component and got the sample to work fine. Excellent component!!!

I do have a few questions, though...

1) Suppose I'm using an N-tiered solution and update some of the DLL's in my middle tier. When I recompile my executable on the top tier, will the component copy over all the updated DLL's that are referenced by the executable as well?

2) If I'm using an MDI application in an N-tiered solution, do I just need to place the Updater component on the MDI form in order to copy over all the referenced DLL's by the executable?

3) In an N-tiered solution, do I just need to state the application name (like Sample.exe) in the Appconfig file which will encompass all the DLL's in the entire n-tiered solution?

4) When the dialgo box comes up and asks the user if they want to upgrade, is there a way to force the user to upgrade the application? I don't want different users using the same app and different assemblies. I havn't tried replying "NO", but if the user does, I don't want them to have the ability to get into the app unless they reply "Yes".

5) How do I implement "AutoIncrement" when building applications? In the AssemplyInfo file, I have the version like ("1.0.*"). When I constantly rebuild the app, the version numbers stay the same....

First off, this post really belongs in the Deployment section of the forums.  

You should check out the various other articles about deployment on windowsforms.net on <a href="http://windowsforms.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=3&tabid=40#Deployment">the articles page</a>.

Also, check out Jamie Cool's "No Impact Deployment" talk under <a href="http://windowsforms.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=49#Talks">the talks section</a>.

Mike,

Are you not able to move posts to the proper forum? It is a feature of the forums software, but maybe it isn't implemented here.
