Auto-Update functionality

I've been assigned a task to write an auto-update utility for our customers
to update their software (n-tier dotnet , db app). I've written custom
installers and WMI based installs using installshield.

I'm really not for "re-inventing the wheel". Is there a 3rd party solution
for this?

Hi Billg,

MS has an updater application block which might help:

updater.asp

HTH,

Hi Billg,

Sorry :(...error while taking the link...
Here's the correct one:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnbda/html/
updater.asp

There a number of good application blocks and guides in the MS patterns site
@ www.microsoft.com/patterns
Maybe you would like to check them as well.

Hi. This post follows "does python have useless destructors". I'm not an expert, so I hope what I will write is meaningfull and clear. Actually in Python there is no possibility to write code that follows C++ RAII pattern. Of course Python objects are not statics like in C++, but in C++ the auto_ptr class is used for enforcing this pattern for dynamical

Hi all, I'm trying to create a page that has a user-selectable page auto-refresh option (IE 5.5). Essentially, it's a page that contains a checkbox, when the user checks the checkbox, I'd like the page to auto-refresh every 4 seconds....if the user un-checks the checkbox, I'd like to turn off the auto refresh. The page is as follows:

I'm changing the layout of my site. Instead of using tables, I will use DIVs. It's working fine, except for 1 thing: In IE6 some DIVs are not the correct width.

I'm using the following in a page that I'm testing in Mozilla: p.actionLinkBlock {border: 1px #000000 dashed; padding: 0.2cm; width: auto} But the dashed border is extending to the right-edge of the screen. I want it to only extend as far as it needs to to nicely contain the content within (a couple of links). Is width: auto the wrong property to do this? Is Mozilla rendering the style wrong?

Hi, I am running into a problem of mixing UICulture = auto and allowing users to select culture using a dropdown list. I am detecting a querystring, "setlang", and when found, setting the CurrentUICulture to what's specified in the querystring. Since I want to allow UICulture auto detecting, I add UICulture = "auto" to page directive on each page.

at work they decided to center divs thus: body {text-align:center} #content {width: 612px; text-align:left; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; } this works fine in IE & FF, EXCEPT in FF it doesn't work if I change 'auto' to 0 for left and right margin values; I have to leave those at 'auto'.. so I would like to know what exactly means 'auto' -- what value it represents exactly (and does it apply for all elements/values you might apply 'auto' to?)

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hi, I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style "height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto". Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to "auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
