If you did not create a .NET Windows Forms project when creating an application that you want to publish with intelligent update
capabilities, you can use a wizard or icon on the Project page of the New dialog box to create the project.

1. On the Project page of the New dialog box, select the .NET Windows Forms Application wizard or
   project icon.
2. On the Specify Support for Smart Client page in the
   wizard, select
   the check box to specify that the application uses intelligent update.
   Selecting this check box enables additional pages in the
   wizard.
3. On the Specify Application Running
   Mode page, specify whether the application can be used both online
   and offline (default), or online only.
4. On the Specify How Application Will be Installed
   page, specify whether the user installs the application from a Web
   site, a shared path, or from a CD or DVD.
5. On the Specify Application Update Mode page, specify
   whether the application checks for updates before starting, after
   starting, or neither. See Publication of Application Updates.
   You can also select the Publish as a Smart Client Application
   check box on the General page in the Project painter. Selecting
   the check box enables the tab pages in the dialog box where you
   set publishing properties. You can set additional properties in
   the Project painter. For example, if you want to publish the application
   to an FTP site, select that option and specify details on the Publish
   page.
