Wednesday, December 10, 2008 11:53 PM The class designer does not support deployment at all. It's a class diagram editor.The Visual C++ development environment does not directly support deployment of Visual C++ projects with ClickOnce, but tools are available to use it. To get more information, search Deployment and Visual C++ or ask in an application deployment forum.

Thank you Martin and Sheng for your friendly help. You're right.
Hi Ramoona,
Welcome to MSDN forums!
You couldn't deploy an unmanaged c++ application through ClickOnce, because c++ application is running a win32 executable, not a CLR app, and the .NET Framework wouldn't be able to figure out it's security and library requirements.
Please check this thread for detailed explanation and workaround.

Alternatively, you can publish C++ project via Setup Project.
