application to update itself...

Hi, I want to know what's the best way to let the c# application update itself so when user starts the application it will notify and update without having to re-install the application?

You can use ClickOnce for this. If you install your application under the Program Files folder, the users will NOT be able to update their applications. The Program Files folder is readonly for normal users on Windows Vista and above. So, this means you'll have to install your application somewhere where users have permissions to write to the folder. Frankly, in corporate environments, a self-updating application is generally forwned upon because the new version of the application cannot be tested before going to production.

Dave KreskowiakHah, testing before production? The primary reason so many apps are going to the web is so they can be updated faster, bypassing IM testing : )

The application needs the DLLs refreshed and therefore, it needs to restarted. However, you can try ClickOnce. You can also have a separate application that gets run before your app, checks for updates, installs them, and then runs the main application. I haven't done Win App development for over 3 years, so my knowledge isn't up-to-date. Still, these are two ways you can do it. Google Chrome, I believe, uses ClickOnce.
