Yh I also usually learn by myself
I also had another update method but this is better.
Mine was
upload a file called verify.txt to DropBox and create a FTP Server.
on Form_Load it downloaded the verify.txt and read the first 5 chars (1.0.0 or whatever) and if it was different from the current app version it would ask if you wanted to download and then I just had to kept a file with the same name on my FTP Server but this one is better

Well, I'm going to work on on a newer version of this which is going to be even better as well as more efficient. I'll post that here and on my site when I do it.

This is what I do and it's relatively easy.
In your form one class. Define the build version.
const double app_ver = 1.0;
Then in your update func
private void update_app()
{
double new_ver = Convert.ToDouble(new StreamReader(new WebClient().OpenRead("https://yoursite.com/version.txt")).ReadToEnd());
if( app_ver < new_ver )
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "https://yoursite.com/release.zip" );
}
Where yoursite.com/version.txt is a txt file with text in it like "1.1", and relase.zip is your latest build of your application.
Simply to update just change version.txt and upload release.zip to a server. Pretty easy and what I do :p

You don't even need to define a const variable as you are able to get the build info, etc.
There are lots of ways to do this; I prefer XML files for structural purposes. ^_^

Well, I've gotta correct the code because it only reads 1 item in the xml or else it produces an error. I'm rewriting it so that you can put, say... 10 program information in a single XML so you just have to work with that one rather than 10 text files.
