Use ClickOnce to Deploy Windows Applications
Deployment is a key to success for your software product--if you can't
deliver your application, you're sunk. "Use ClickOnce to Deploy Windows
Applications," a new PDF from O'Reilly, shows you how to use ClickOnce, a
new technology in Visual Studio 2005, to quickly get your Windows
application into the hands of your customers. You can download this PDF
for just $7.99.

handcuff firewall" and "Vista firewall shackled" are spreading. Mitch
Tulloch tells you the truth about the Vista firewall.

*** Top Five Windows and .NET Articles Last Week ***
1. Run Mac OS X on a PC
You can get the best of both worlds--you can run the real Mac OS X on your
own PC. Wei-Meng Lee shows you how to run the Mac operating system on an
emulator called PearPC.
<http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/01/18/PearPC.html>

2. Windows Server Hacks: Remotely Enable Remote Desktop
What to do when you need to enable Remote Desktop on a remote server?
Mitch Tulloch, author of Windows Server Hacks, walks you through the steps.

3. Getting Your Bluetooth Headset to Work in XP
With Bluetooth support built into SP2, getting a Bluetooth headset to work
should be a breeze. But it ain't necessarily so. Wei-Meng Lee shows you
how to do it.

4. Enhancing ASP.NET Pages with JavaScript
A sprinkling of JavaScript code can enhance the reach and responsiveness
of your ASP.NET web pages without sacrificing ASP.NET's secure,
server-based model for your coding. Matthew MacDonald, coauthor of ASP.NET
in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, shows you how to use JavaScript in an ASP.NET
web page to perform three common tasks: showing a pop-up window, changing
control focus, and handling frame navigation. You can use these tricks to
quickly solve problems that have no native .NET solution.
<http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/09/15/aspnet.html>

5. ASP.NET File Uploading
File upload and download are much simpler tasks in ASP.NET than in classic
ASP, thanks to the extensive .NET Framework class library. While file
upload in ASP.NET is as easy as retrieving an HTML form value, file
download is still a bit tricky.
