Get A Program To Check For Updates?
Aug 20, 2010I don't like to build myprogram to a click-onceapplication becauseI lose the .exe and I don't know how to edit it after building it. So unless someone this, here is my main question:I was thinking about updating a .txt file that have uploaded somewhere that has the current available version. Can I use streamreader for an online file? And if so, if the available version is updated, how can I edit the code and everything to updatethe file?

View 5 RepliesCheck For Updates From A Website?
May 4, 2011I'm unsure of how realistic it is for this to work but I know a lot is possible in vb. I have an application called WindowsPRO available from my filesharewebsit This application is intended for those in school to easily be able to do several daily tasks such as calculate and use notepad within one window. I have been working on this application in part with the help of MSDN.Back OT, currently when I click the "Check for updates" I use process.start to open my website. Not very complicated is it. What I want to do is open a form in whichchecks for the update from my site. Whenever I upload a file, I'll upload it as a .zip onto my site and always name it like: "Application name v1.0" or whatever the version number is. That is the only thing that changes.
When the user presses the check for updates, I want to checkhe site in background for a "higher" version number. If my application is v1.2, I want it to check for anything higher than 1.2. So if I have on the site 1.2.2, or 1.3, I want it to check for the highest number version and download it.My question simply is, how do I check for a "higher version" from a website?

View 1 RepliesPrivately Check For Updates?
Nov 26, 2009I have a program with commercial uses. Currently I have email out updates. I would prefer that when the program loads, it searches for updates either from the web or I was toying with the idea of creating a file host server. I want the program to search for updates without opening a web browser, however (giving anyone power to email out a free download link). I think of the way Digsby opens, checking for updates, or gimp. This is what I want.
View 12 RepliesVS 2010 App To Check For Updates?
Jun 17, 2010I have created a backup script which my organization uses to back up a specific set of data weekly, to a server, by clicking and running the app.I am always updating it/ improving it and instead of redistributing to the select employees there has to be a way to code in a "check for updates" type of thing.
I was wondering how to make my created app check with that server to see if i am running the latest version.
How do i incorporate a "version" in my app, or would it just be a naming convention thing? and how do i check for updates? Would a button being selected to check updates be preferable? or is there a way to auto detect it?

View 5 RepliesRead A Text File To Check For Updates?
Mar 28, 2010I'm trying to make my app check for updates by reading a text file and comparing it to a 'currentversion' setting in my application (or if checking the executable file version is easy, that would be good).
Here are the basic steps: -Read text file hosted on [URL]..-Check if the version number (eg '1.1') is higher than the number in the 'currentversion' setting or the executable file version (whichever is easier).
-If the text file version number is the same, change form background colour to green, if it is higher, change the background colour to red.

Make A .net Program Which Will Perform WMI Queries To Check For Remote Computer's Name And OS?
Jan 18, 2012I am trying to make a vb.net program which will perform WMI queries to check for remote computer's name and OS. I manage to do the first query of name using the code below..
[Code]...
I am getting error "Local variable 'query' is already declared in the current block. (BC30288)".I understand that I am using same name for the object variable for performing subsequent query. Is there a way in which I can dispose the variable completely and reuse it again for querying the new required WMI detail? My search in the net couldn't give me any clue as of how to clear the variable and use it again. The issue is with two variables "query" and "searcher". Is it only possible that I should give unique names to each query object variable as I might add more queries later on?

Aug 3, 2010I have a program for school project that has input fields for Name, Address, City, State and Zip. I need to error check so that the fields are not empty.I have used If statements that check to see if the fields are empty and shows a message box if they are but if I leave the whole form empty and click the button that activates it, all the if statements go- one by one instead of pausing for the user to input the required data.How do I check for data and make the program stay there until the data is input?

View 6 RepliesCommand Line Strings - Make The Program Close If The -1 String Is Sent With The Program
Feb 25, 2010If e.CommandLine.Count > 0 Then
Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.
