I've been working on my program, which is a calendar, and I want to update it with the so called: 'Textfile method'. (Not ClickOnce, try'd it but didn't work out.) So basically I dont know where to start, I want my app, to download a text file from lets say: http://localhost/textfile.txt/ I want the app to compare the text file to its current version and if the textfile> than the current version I want the app to download lets say[curl]...
I have always made a setup file with "instal creator" which have made a nice one file of my program and it have been easy to share. This time I need a chance to update my application. I read somewhere that having website is necessary or its much easier to do that way, is it true? I have worked before with ucoz/unet so I think I could use it.
I have a question about application settings.Is it possible to update application settings or are they read-only?
If I program an auto-login feature, am I able to store the login details and use it next time user logs in. Would them settings remain after application is closed and opened again?
I got a hard one for you devolpers.In a popular C++ program BitComet they have a Check For Update feature.How would I have a simple Check For Update and have it warn the user every 1 week or so.
I want to be able to use Microsoft's Update feature in my app. When doing some research on this, I found out that MS uses an executable called WUSA.EXE for their updates. Unfortunately, you can't just run the executable and expect it to work. So, I guess I'm asking if anyone knows how I can do this. For the moment, my app is only targeted toward Windows Vista.
I use ClickOnce Deployment on my application to get the update feature.But i really do not like the deployment and the setup Is their a way I can use the Visual Studio setup feature to make a msi package for my application but still have the update feature?
Where do we make feature suggestions for VB.NET?Basically, I'd like to suggest that they introduce "strikethrough comments". As an alternative to using the single quote ' for remarks, you can use the backquote (ASCII 96) ` which does exactly the same thing except that the text appears with strikethrough. This would be good for "commenting out" code. So if I am replacing a bit of code, I can "cross out" the old code,
I'm trying to make an application which has a feature of an event calendar. I am quite familiar with the MonthCalendar tool in the toolbox, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I would like to make a calendar that somewhat resembles 'iCal' in Mac OS X. If any of you use Microsoft Groove Workspaces, the calendar in that is very close to what I'm thinking of. I want the user to be able to double click the day and add new events which will show the title of the events in that day on the calendar when the events are saved. Also i would like to have the user be able to make recurring events. Is this even possible with Visual Basic '08?

ProgressBar - Label displaying % - label displaying Current Process

how i can add a update program in my application so it can be automatically updatted via the internet and can notify users an update is available. i wouls also prefer an auto update application.
I'm about to roll out a large application to many workstations throughout the company and I've never really had the need to "auto-update" an application until now. Ideally, I'd like a "one time install" and then updates are applied without user intervention/IS involvement. (user intervention would be ok as long as it wont require a logoff or admin escalation)

However, the issue is that TOtalAMount is getting updated automatically but FinalPrice is not getting updated. Any reasons/mistakes I have done. I have tried it a lot in few ways but could not get that working. What i did not understand is that Total amount is getting updated but Final price isn't.
I'm creating part of a program which calculates vacation hours multiplied by accrual rate. As of right now all parts of the form are functioning and saving/retrieving data from a csv text file. My problem is that I'd like to bring the process out of a button.click event and into Form_Load. Currently when I click a listview item (lvwData.SelectedItems) it populates a textbox (txtAvail), then recalculates the textbox value based off my formula (hours) and updates the listview's 4th column item. To update each column daily, I currently have to click each row, then my button, then move onto the next item. I'm looking for a way to grab the 4th column, recalculate it and update the listview without having to select each row.
I may be deploying my app (its a database software for videos) to 4 - 5 computers. I want to add some new features but have the software update automatically and silently. Due to security holes or issues with bugs, I don't want to give the clients the choice to update. I just want it to check for an update and if one is available, it can SAY that its updating on a label but that's about it and it automatically updates without confusing the user or wasting any more time than it should.
I have a stand alone application "test.exe" on a Windows 7 operating system.I have an application "test.exe" made in Visual basic 8.0.I have an "Auto Update" function . Call this function from "test.exe". In the first line in "test.exe".This function does the following:
1. This checks whether the current version is older than the version on specific site, if so: 1a. Removed all *. old 1b. Rename test.exe to test.old 1c. dowload new test.exe
I'm afraid I get an error when I rename "test.exe" to "test.old" because "test.exe" is now active.How can I prevent this or what else should I do?
I'm currently writing an installer for my application (don't ask me why I don't use ClickOnce or other types of installers...).I simply create a folder in C:Program Files and I download my apps' AutoUpdater into the folder and run itFrom there, the AutoUpdater should download the latest files from my server. However, when I check the directory where the files should have been downloaded, I can only see the AutoUpdater
I am writing a program which I need to auto-update itself from then internet, must be internet not intranet.

Currently I'm using a third party file hosting website (like mediafire) to upload my program and I update the link every time a new version is out.I know there are some ways to autoupdate the program but most of them need to own a website, which currently I don't have.So I was wondering if there could be a way to make an autoupdate using sites like mediafire.Example: I always delete old version of the program, on mediafire when someone try to access a deleted file page he gets redirected on a page which says "file deleted or invalid". So if the program find out that the file link redirect to that page it should inform the user about the new version.
