I published my first application on the customers website and they will
deploy using ClickOnce. All the files needed are on the server incluing the
net framework and 3rd party componenets. My question is when I do patches
and fixes, can I just copy my new .exe and .dll files and the manifest to
the server directory or do I have to copy all the files including 3rd party
components which haven't changed up there?

To publish an update, publish your application again with a newer version
number. The whole thing gets copied up to the web server. That way, if a new
user wants to install it, they can.

When a user runs their application, assuming you have it set to get
automatic updates, it will compare the files on the server in the new
version's folders against the files he already has. If a file hasn't
changed, it copies from the local cache on the user's machine to the new
version's folders on the user's machine, otherwise it copies it from the
server across the network.
