Hey i was just wondering if anyone had any good idea of how to make an application tell the user that it needs updating! kind of like the update dialog in hyper cam. the way hyper cam updates is by a small yellow box popping up and saying its ready for updates. Or maybe there is a way that the application updates automatically. i think you might need a database to do this but i'm not sure.
any help is much appreciated
Thanks

First things first, you can set the version of your application in your Publish properties of the project. Then when you load your program you need to find the executable file (may or may not be in the default install location), then use the File or FileInfo class to check the version attribute. Then you could check against the current safe build version (somehow you need to provide those details, maybe online lookup?)
Thanks i'll try and get an application up
