    I need to write a program in C#.NET that will run as a windows client, connect to a server, and determine if any updates are available for a program installed on the client. If there are updates, I need client to download and install the updates. The problem is I have no idea how to start! Does anyone know of any online resources or even a good book that will help me learn how to code this type of application? Thanks! Robert

      Actually, Microsoft has provided a bran-new deployment way named 'Click Once' to developers. You can referrence to below hyperlink to study it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d.aspx[^]

          Thanks...this looks like it will really give me some insight. My specific assignment is to complete a tool that will look for updates to other software that may be installed on the client computer. In other words, the tool will update other programs, not itself. Still, this looks like the right direction. Robert

            Thanks. I am familiar with how an application can be published using click-once so that it will check for updates. However, my task is to develop a tool that will update other software that is on the client computer. In other words the tool does not update itself, but other programs. The client wants a single tool that will update any of their software that is on the user's computer (as opposed to each program updating itself.) Robert
