Auto-Update Feature

[Reno]

Hi guys last time I posted you were all really great so I hope you can help me again today. I am writing a program which I need to auto-update itself from then internet, must be internet not intranet. My first thoughts were to use a FTP server and do it using that however I have a website and unlimited of pratically everything. My question is. Which way is best? and also How would I set about doing it? Thanks .

Are Front page extentions useful?

ClickOnce (Publish) already includes auto-update feature, can you use that?

 

[Reno]

Yeah i know i had a go but I doesn't like my install path, any suggestions?

ClickOnce really is the easiest solution if you can use it. What problems with your install path are you having?

If click-once doesnt work for you, take a look at AppLife Update. This is a complete auto-update solution for .Net applications. Simple to use yet allows for complete flexibility and customization.
