I'm looking for the best way to do minimal (probably 1 MB or so)
updates to existing data, by having the client app monitor a live
feed. That data feed will periodically broadcast the update packet to
all clients.

I suspect that this is done often enough that there is a somewhat
standard method, or maybe a toolkit. How is this usually solved?

Thanks

Rob,

What you ask is in my idea in fact the "click once" update approach.

Why not have a look at that

Thanks, Cor. I'll check into that.

I haven't used Click-Once but I didn't think of it as a 'broadcast' or
even a 'push' technology. I thought it was a more single-shot 'pull'
system that was designed to be initiated by UI button. Does it have
advantages for this type of app?

I was originally wondering if RSS/Atom would be suitable for something
like this.
