Click Once app Update

[Looch]

Hi All,

When using the Publish wizard in C# express I'd like to designate a
directory that the application will look to for updates. My question
is, what files need to be in the update directory? Updated source
code? Updated setup.exe with the associated files?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using Click Once? If it is click once, all new files will be
created under new version folder except 3 files (they will be in the
root). .application file and .application file with new version.

If you are using click once. Every time you publish, the publish
process will create at the destination folder setup.exe,
name.application and name.application.version where name is your
application name. This also create new folder with version number with
all the files that is required for that particular version. When you
make a change to the code and republish, this will recreate
name.application and name.application.newversion and a new folder with
new version number and all the files.

If you set your program to check for update automatically and when you
check for update (before application start or after ending), based on
the setup the program knows where to check for update (your publish
location) and update automatically. Also you can do this
programmatically as well. Hope this answers your question.
