RE: [Smartclient-developers] An initial question

Updating the GAC is an interesting one.  I still haven't discovered a =
clean solution for this one.  In the past, I have not let auto-update =
assemblies install into the GAC. I have supplied an .msi file that users =
must manually run on their machines to update GAC components (not nice).

HTTP compression is worth a look to improve download performance.

	I saw this sample from Jamie Cool a while back, and
	its definitely inline with the direction I think the
	project will go.  There are a number of issues in
	which it falls short currently, with things such as
	updating the GAC, datastores, etc.  Also, security
	could be improved, and the WebDAV method of
	downloading is cumbersome and insecure in the sample.

	We might be able to look at something like DIME for
	the downloading service, although, this is still
	pretty new.  The ColdStorage sample by MS at
	coldrooster.com uses a web service for downloading,
	and supports "chunking" of the file contents for
	performance benefits.

	Hopefully everyone is on the list in the next day or
	so.  Looking forward to getting started.
