asked on

Modify ClickOnce publish page

Hi Guys,

I'm attempting to recreate the deployment page for QuickEE - http://quickee.dabas.net.au/publish.htm

All is going well, but one thing has me stumped. How can I determine the latest available version number (currently 1.1.0.68)? Within the same directory, there are a number of folders and files. There are a number of files, with the naming format 'QuickEE_1_1_0_68.application'. Is there a way to check each of these files and return the latest version using JavaScript?

Cheers,

Wayne

JS cannot read a server directory.
What it can do is read a (manifest ) file

Cant you dump a
version.js
in there which just does a

document.write('1_1_0_68')

and which is updated by your deployment package?

Thanks, mplungjan.

Is it possible to read http://quickee.dabas.net.au/QuickEE.application with js? It contains this....

<assemblyIdentity name="QuickEE.application" version="1.1.0.68" publicKeyToken="ab611e03a95fb421" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="msil" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" />

No. There are no js files involved at all. All is contained in publish.htm.

    //Define "callback" function

function processStateChange() {

Thanks. It doesn't seem to be working. Can you take a look at http://quickee.dabas.net.au/test.htm

Missing } after function body


function processStateChange() {

  if (req.readyState==4) {

    if (req.status == 200) { // OK response

      var t = req.responseText;

      version = t.substring(t.indexOf('version="')+9,t.indexOf('" publicKeyToken'))

      document.getElementById("version").innerHTML = version;

    }

}


has to be


function processStateChange() {
  if (req.readyState==4) {
    if (req.status == 200) { // OK response
      var t = req.responseText;
      version = t.substring(t.indexOf('version="')+9,t.indexOf('" publicKeyToken'))
      document.getElementById("version").innerHTML = version;
    }
  }
}

and you MUST call the retreive in the onLoad or after you define the span since it does not exist where you call it now
