VB.NET and FTP Auto Update

I am building an applicatin that will be able to automatically update itself
from an FTP server.

I'd like to be able to determine which version of application is newer, the
one currently running or the one found on the FTP server (the .msi file).
My idea is to look at the FTP server for an .msi file and compare its date
with the date stamp of the application currently running and then download
the release only if it is newer then running application.

How can I get the information about currently running application such as
its file date stamp?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

File date stamp would be rather unreliable... get the version info...

plus, there a lot better ways to do live updaters than filestamps (plus
firewall problems..)

You can get the version from your Assembly in the System.Reflecti on
namespace with the

AssemblyInforma tionalVersionAt tribute.Informa tionalVersion Property

Lot of information. can you have access to a sql server or text file to
compare latest versions of the file?

you can use a webclient to (I think) make connection to FTP. its just a
pain sometimes...

I hate FTP though.

Thank you for your reply.

How can I get version number and how to create one?

What is the better way? If you are reffering to auto update from a Web
Server, it is not applicable to me, I have to do it from an FTP server.

Look up .NET Application Blocks on MSDN. You can download some code that
does this.

Do you mean to have an additional text file stored on SQL Server ? Yes, I
could do that.
The file can contain info about the date, size, etc (probably version
number, too).

Tell me little bit more about that, please.

I am already connecting to an FTP server and downloading test file but would
like to be able to compare the version (or date) of my current application
with the version (or date) of the .msi file on the server.

Thank you, let me know if I am on the right track.

Are you using an intranet or the internet to push the
updates? If the internet, you probably can't get there
without a web server. If you are using an intranet, you
can do it from a shared folder. Paul Kimmel has a new
book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...24075/internco
m-20/002-4611773-6304806 that discusses this in depth...
I can send you some code to do it. Effectively you need
two assemblies, one that calls the second, and it looks
to somehwere 'else' to check if the somewhere 'else' on
is newer than the one it wants to use. I've done it on
the intranet at work, and on a scale of 1 to 10, it's
about a 4 the first time through, and much easier
afterward, setting the permissions is the main gotcha.

Let me know which scenario you are using and I can be of
more help.

Good Luck,

Bill

I am building an application that would check for newest releases on startand if new releases exist, it would update itself. All reference I havefound are using a web server which I don't want to use.

I am doing this in VB.net, and the updates should be stored on SQL Server2000.

Any ideas how can I do this. I have heard something about AutoUpdate class.Would it work with an SQL Server as well?

Any help will be appreciated,

Hi CJ,

When I type :

System.Reflecti on.AssemblyInfo rmationalVersio nAttribute. it does not show
InformationalVe rsion and does not let me show it let's say in a message box.

Thanks,

You'll probably have to use time/date stamps - despite it being a crude
solution. An FTP server really isn't ideal for this kind of thing - you can
do much more with a web server.
