C# Mapscript Project Deployment using ClickOnce

[Tamas Szekeres]

Jim,

I think we haven't too much experience with ClickOnce but we can
surely support signing the assembly using a pre-generated key pair. If
you are interested in this topic submit a ticket as an enhancement for
the mapscript C# component.

Best regards,

Tamas
