UpdateManager

UpdateManager was created by DeadLine. This library was developed free of charge.

This library can be used to check for application updates. It is designed for WPF and Windows Forms applications. In order to use it, you require an XML file on a remote or local server that represents the Update class.

Usage

Create a new UpdateManager object like this:

StringVariables stringVariables = new StringVariables
{
	CancelButtonText = "Cancel",
	DownloadButtonText = "Download",
	InformationButtonText = "Information",
	NoNewVersionText = "You are running the latest version!",
	TitleText = "Your application title",
	UpdateNowText = "Would you like to update the application now?"
};
UpdateManager.Classes.UpdateManager updateManager = new UpdateManager.Classes.UpdateManager(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version, "https://yoururl/update.xml", stringVariables);

Check for updates like this:

try
{
  updateManager.CheckForUpdate(showErrors, showNoUpdates);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Application title", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
}
