Check For Updates

[Ian Semmel]

How is this usually implemented in a program ?

Do you use a web service or just a normal asp or html connection and not
display the page ?

I know nothing, but the way I see it is you :

(a) Go somewhere
(b) Authenticate somehow
(c) Get a reply giving new version and address of update
(d) Download the update and install

Well I'm not trying to update an asp app, I'm trying to update an mfc
app. I just want to go to the asp site to get the download.

Hello Ian,

Ok, just read the article I gave u.
actually this "update application block" is a pattern, which allows u to
check and update your application each time your start your app
