Second: Now Lets Work On The Coding Part
- First Drag A "saveFileDialog" onto your tool
- Then Put A New Button Somewhere In Your Tool
- Double Click It To Be Able To Code It
First Add This To Your Tool:
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
- Now Somewhere in Your Tool Put This Code:
public readonly string Version = "1.0.0.0";
public string getVersion()
{
return Version;
}
public void Updater()
{
string URL = "https://yoursite.x10.mx/Updates/";//put the url of your site here
string appName = "FileName.Rar";//Name of your file on the site
string serverVersion;
string serverVersionName = "Version.txt";//Name Of The Version Text Document
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(URL + serverVersionName);
WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();
Stream str = res.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader tr = new StreamReader(str);
serverVersion = tr.ReadLine();
if (getVersion() != serverVersion)
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
byte[] appdata = client.DownloadData(URL + appName);
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(saveFileDialog1.FileName))
{
fs.Write(appdata, 0, appdata.Length);
}
MessageBox.Show("You File Has Been Download To:\n" + saveFileDialog1.FileName + "\nDownload Complete!");//this comes up after you have downloaded the new update
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No Updates Are Currently Available.", "No Updates Found", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);//This message box pops up if you have no updates available
}
}Now Put This Inside The Button You Made To Check For Updates:
Updater();
Third: Now Save All This Work And Add The File To A Rar File Named The Same As You Named It In The appName Code.
- Once You Create The Rar File, Go Back To Site Update Directory On Your Site And Your Going To Hit "Upload" On The Top Left
- Then Click Upload File, Choose The File, Upload It, And BAM Finished!
Final: When You Update Your Tool Again, Change The Version Number In The Tool To Match The One On The Site And Then Upload Your New Updated Tool In Its Rar File With The Same appName As Last Time!
Done!
