UpdateCheckInfo Class
Assembly: System.Deployment (in system.deployment.dll)
With UpdateCheckInfo, you can decide whether to upgrade your ClickOnce application based on information about the newest version. UpdateAvailable will return a Boolean value indicating whether there is a new update at all. The AvailableVersion property provides the version number of the new version, while MinimumRequiredVersion provides the earliest version that the user should have installed. IsUpdateRequired expresses whether the latest available update is required of the user. Finally, UpdateSizeBytes expresses the total size of the update.
The following code example uses UpdateAvailable to determine if there is a new application update, and IsUpdateRequired to determine whether to ask the user to install the update.
Private Sub InstallUpdateSyncWithInfo() Dim info As UpdateCheckInfo = Nothing If (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) Then Dim AD As ApplicationDeployment = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment Try info = AD.CheckForDetailedUpdate() Catch dde As DeploymentDownloadException MessageBox.Show("The new version of the application cannot be downloaded at this time. " + ControlChars.Lf + ControlChars.Lf + "Please check your network connection, or try again later. Error: " + dde.Message) Return Catch ioe As InvalidOperationException MessageBox.Show("This application cannot be updated. It is likely not a ClickOnce application. Error: " + ioe.Message) Return End Try If (info.UpdateAvailable) Then Dim doUpdate As Boolean = True If (Not info.IsUpdateRequired) Then Dim dr As DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("An update is available. Would you like to update the application now?", "Update Available", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel) If (Not System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK = dr) Then doUpdate = False End If End If If (doUpdate) Then Try AD.Update() MessageBox.Show("The application has been upgraded, and will now restart.") Application.Restart() Catch dde As DeploymentDownloadException MessageBox.Show("Cannot install the latest version of the application. " + ControlChars.Lf + ControlChars.Lf + "Please check your network connection, or try again later.") Return End Try End If End If End If End Sub
