CheckForUpdateCompletedEventArgs::IsUpdateRequired Property
Gets a value indicating whether the update must be installed.
Assembly: System.Deployment (in System.Deployment.dll)
When you deploy an update to your ClickOnce application, you can mark it as a required update, signaling to your application that it should upgrade immediately. You want mark the update if the latest version contains a critical update, or if it is incompatible with file formats or back-end data sources used by the former version.
The following code example uses IsUpdateRequired to determine whether to ask the user to install the update, or to install it without prompting.
private: long sizeOfUpdate; private: void Form1_Load(Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { DoUpdate(); } public: void DoUpdate() { if (ApplicationDeployment::IsNetworkDeployed) { ApplicationDeployment^ currentAppDeployment = ApplicationDeployment::CurrentDeployment; currentAppDeployment->CheckForUpdateCompleted += gcnew CheckForUpdateCompletedEventHandler( this, &Form1::currentDeploy_CheckForUpdateCompleted); currentAppDeployment->CheckForUpdateAsync(); } } // If update is available, fetch it. void currentDeploy_CheckForUpdateCompleted(Object^ sender, CheckForUpdateCompletedEventArgs^ e) { if (nullptr != e->Error) { // Log error. return; } if (e->UpdateAvailable) { sizeOfUpdate = (long) e->UpdateSizeBytes; if (!e->IsUpdateRequired) { System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult updateDialogueResult = MessageBox::Show( "An update is available.Would you like to update the" + " application now?", "Update Available", MessageBoxButtons::OKCancel); if (System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK == updateDialogueResult) { BeginUpdate(); } } else { BeginUpdate(); } } } void BeginUpdate() { ApplicationDeployment^ ad = ApplicationDeployment::CurrentDeployment; ad->UpdateCompleted += gcnew AsyncCompletedEventHandler( this, &Form1::CurrentDeployment_UpdateCompleted); // Indicate progress in the application's status bar. ad->UpdateProgressChanged += gcnew DeploymentProgressChangedEventHandler(this, &Form1::ad_ProgressChanged); ad->UpdateAsync(); } void CurrentDeployment_UpdateCompleted(Object^ sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs^ e) { if (!e->Cancelled) { if (nullptr != e->Error) { System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult restartDialogueResult = MessageBox::Show( "The application has been updated. Restart?", "Restart Application", MessageBoxButtons::OKCancel); if (System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK == restartDialogueResult) { Application::Restart(); } } else { // Replace with your own error reporting or logging. MessageBox::Show( "The application encountered an error in downloading" + " the latest update. Error: {0}", e->Error->Message); } } else { // Replace with your own error reporting or logging. MessageBox::Show("The update of the application's latest" + " version was cancelled."); } } void ad_ProgressChanged(Object^ sender, DeploymentProgressChangedEventArgs^ e) { String^ progressText = String::Format( "{0:D}K out of {1:D}K downloaded - {2:D}% complete", e->BytesCompleted / 1024, e->BytesTotal / 1024, e->ProgressPercentage); statusStrip1->Text = progressText; }
