I am looking for a way to distrubute my client application. Once I
distrubute my application, I will want it to automatically update itself.
I will put the new files on the webserver. I have seen examples of this on
the web. But none of them are good. Does anyone know any resource where I
an get the source code that is pretty much fully working?

Thanks,
Mark

I know there was to be a new Updater Application Block on GotDotNet,
but I can't find it. However there is an earlier one that should eb
able to handle all your needs right out of the box.

This component is one of the Microsoft Practices and Patterns
application blocks. it includes a BITS downlaoder component that uses
BITS to download your files.

ter.asp

However if you want to keep it simple check out the link below this guy
made an HTTP version of the downloader component used by the
application block. It can't get any simplier then this.
