Is there a way i can make updates and let the browser download them automatically or when ever i make a update do i have to uninstall the program and install the new one?? Im not that advanced in visual basic so please write basically XD thanks.

Modular design of your program is your friend :D

If you want something like this, split your program up into various libraries. Have DLLs strung around to perform every task you need.

Then, if you only update a certain DLL.. your program downloads a nice small DLL, and puts it where it needs to be.. Then all you do is start your program again, it will load the new DLL.. and you're away!
