VS 2013 Cheking for updates - winforms

I am developing a Windows Forms application with Visual Studio 2013 and i want to publish it in my web site.
I use the VS 2013 publish funcionality using FTP service, it publish it correctly but i see not only a setup.exe is uploaded, but also manifest, and some application carpets...
1.- Is it posible to publish the application under a .msi file?, if so please let me know how.
2.- When i publish it i say to check my page, for example mypage.com, for updates, ¿what should i do in mypage.com when i publish a new version? so when a user is using my app and a new version si avaliable he/she get noticed about it.
sorry for my english and thx in advance.

If you add an installer, you can create a msi.
I used the extension for Vs2013 VSI Bundle.

How to Host my ASP .NET MVC Application with database?

I really need help or any kind of explanation about my problem.
I have a project built in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. Its a ASP.NET MVC Application, and I have another project which enables me to create a database in my ("localDb")/ProjectsV13.
My approach was "Database-First", and created Model.espx automatically, and everything works fine (Used Entity Framework).
But now when I'm done making it, I need to PUBLISH It or HOST it. I don't understand the difference between that 2 terms.
I've been searching for solution for a quite a while, and still no solution.
I need to post in on CPanel.
How can someone use my app online?
How can someone see the same data as me?. Because I use localDb.
For example, I have login page for admin (just want someone to login with username:"Admin" and pw: "admin") and use my app.
I published it using FileSystem and managed to start my app with localhost. But that's not what I need
Thank you in advance!

How to publish Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app to Windows Phone store?

I created Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app, and I can't to upload it into WP store. I want to use Create App Packages tool in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, but it's impossible for Silverlight apps. I read many guides on dev.windows.com. It's necessary to upload only .appx, .appxbundle or .appxupload files, but I have .xap file only in Bin\ARM\Release folder. May anyone help me?
I'm having the same problem, which I just solved.
WP8.1 Silverlight application may not be packaged with the "Create App Packages" tool, so you have to perform several operations manually.
The process is described on msdn (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn655122%28v=vs.105%29.aspx)
- First you have to start the submission of the app on your msdn dashboard.
- From here, you'll get some informations, such as reserved application name, and several IDs that you have to edit into both WMAppManifest.xml and Package.appxmanifest
- Then you can deploy your app (or run the emulator for release)
- This last step will create the package you can upload.

Not able to download metadata for application in force.com IDE

I am facing a few problems when trying to integrate the force.com ide with salesforce.com.
Currently i am using eclipse(4.22 Juno) and have installed the plugin Force.com IDE(2.9) and have a developers version in salesforce.com. I was able to successfully connect to salesforce without any errors thru force.com ide, by creating a new application with the name of the application that i have created in the web version.
Right now the application is created with the sub folders classes, triggers etc... but they are empty. I also tried setting the proxy in the connections of eclipse. But even that does not seem to work.
Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong.
Thanks--
Can you post the content of your package.xml file? It's kind of project definition, it contains info which files (objects, classes, pages, reports, profiles...) you want to download & push changes to.
Check http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/An_Introduction_to_Force.com_Metadata for example - have you skipped step similar to this?

How get data from Microsoft Outlook with Silverlight?

I need to get information from Microsoft Outlooks calendar to show it on calendar application which I made with Silverlight.
I can get all needed information with Silverlight 4 but in trusted mode and my application must be installed on users computer and work as Desctop application.
But I need for my application to work on browser.
Is it possible or the only way is using it as Desctop application?
Thanks.
No, you can't. The best that you can do is to create a web service to communicate with Silverlight and then an Outlook add-in to communicate with that web service.
I did it with WebDav server. I published my calndar to WebDav server. Calendar is on .ics format so I can read all information from it as with other files and then parse it.
My WCF service is on the same computer in which is WebDav so I can get all needed information with Silverlight. I decided to use this version because in this case user have no need to install .Net freamework on his computer. I also found that user can publish his calendar from internet so this version do what I need.
#Otaku thanks for your answer, it was very nice solution and it is the best version for people who can't(or don't want) use WebDav.
Here is how to publish it.
EDIT: In this case calendar opens as readonly because it located on server and cannot be synchronized with existing calendar without add-in, so #Otaku's answer is right.
My version can be used if you don't need synchronization.

How to manually install the EPiServer Scheduling Service

I'm trying to manually install the EPiServer scheduler service on a web server using installutil.
I run this at the command promp:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\installutil D:\EPiServerSchedulerService\EPiServer.SchedulerSvc.exe
And get an error:
No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be found in the D:\EPiServerSchedulerService\EPiServer.SchedulerSvc.exe assembly.
It turns out it's not possible to do this with installutil, the service doesn't support it. I used the installer EPiServerShared.msi which is included with the EPiServer CMS downloads.
I wrote a quick blog post about it.
