The database is put on server computer.At the present, my program run by some dll file, and when I fix or update the source code, i will compile to dll and put it on the server disk. After that, the users will go to this server disk and copy the new dll and overwrite the old dll in their client computer.

GUI: user-friendly,easy, but too much for so little program. It is unnecesseraly.
Console: Simple, but not user-friendly. And easy too!'s super easy!

View 3 RepliesAn update to my program has been downloaded to a particular folder. The code recognizes that the file is there
(i.e. "If IO.File.Exists(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "UpdatesPQCM.exe) Then),
Sets the update location to that file and initiates the click-once update subroutine. Problem, I don't know how this update feature can be modified this way in run-time. I would set the update location using the solution properties but this program may exist anywhere on the hard drive, or even on a thumb drive (as per its design).
