Updating program

Hi,

If this has been answered elsewhere can someone point me in the right direction.

Instead of having visual studio's update screen i want to have my own screen pop up within my mdiparent form and have abit on the popup where i can display the changes that have been made (i can try and work this out with text files etc.)

Is it possible?

Thanks
Alex

Are you just wanting to display the contents of an external file, like a text file, that explains what has been changed in that build?

Or are you wanting to do that, but also auto update the program?

I want to update the program and also display (say in a richtextbox from a text file) changes to the program. if that makes sense.

I want to update it like the way visual studio does, but using my own form etc.

You can put a file on your server that has what version is the newest and compare it to the current version. If it's newer, then download the new one. In that download, you can have a file, or hard code it, with the information about the new features.

If you go with a file, you can use a StreamReader to read the info. Either way, you can use a WebClient to download the data.
