Self Upgrading Executables (C# Windows App)
-
I have heard that the ability exists to write Windows application in .NET that will self upgrade (do a version check on startup and silently pull down updates from a server). I suppose that ability exists in any environment if you put enough effort into it, but I was hoping there were some built-in API calls that could be made and a standard mechanism to do this. Has anyone done anything along these lines and can point me to a document or code example. Thank you. Ron Ward

Have a look at the App Updater Application Block from MS here[^]. I haven't used it, but HTH. Cheers, Simon sig ::
