Does anyone ACTUALLY have the application updater block working? I've been beating my head against the wall on this one for about 3 days. It looks cool. It seems promising. I've even read this guy's blog entry about how to implement it (http://weblogs.asp.net/duncanma/articles/10221.aspx) and how breath takingly simple it is to actually get it done. Damned if I can get it to work.

I am trying to find a good tutorial on how to use this verison of the updater block so I can incorporate it into my projects. I have tried to use the documentation with some success, however most examples are in C# and make some big assumptions. Here is what I am after: 1. How to use Updater in my programs (references, code, etc...) 2. How to set up a manifest. 3. How to set up Updater for each project 4. Code samples for VB. 5. ...

Hi, Our C# windows form applications deploy on our clients, most PCs are Windows XP. And we want to do something so the application will listen to our server to check if an updating is needed, to some extent it's similiar to the Windows Update. I am not sure if C# can do this or I have to solve it in other ways. Any help will be appreciated.

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,...
