Auto Update My Application...

[loid grey manuel]

Hi, i am working on a simple application that needs to be updated frequently, do you have an an article that discusses how an application downloads the update then install it. Like an anti virus, it downloads the update definitions then install it on its own. lets say its an application that collects updates from a common share-point. lets not focus on the install part, what we want to focus is on the connection and download part.. and what are the common protocol and ports used for connection? i got some good hint from Simon Ellis's article, An AutoUpdate Trick[^] but i still can't find where is the download part, any help or guide will be much appreciated, thanks in advance

This is the C++/CLI forum meant for managed and mixed-mode topics. Your thread should ideally have been here: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1647/C-Cplusplus-MFC.aspx[^] That said, if you look at his code, specially the GetSession and DownloadFile methods, you'll see that he downloads the file using InternetOpenUrl and InternetReadFile.

Regards, Nish
