Is it possible for a customer of mine to have his program update automatically built with Windows Visual Basic 2010 express...?

Question

I have created a program with Windows Visual Basic 2010 Express.... I want to be able to have my customers get the latest updates that I make to the program when I do. Is there a way for them to update the current software that they have from me automatically?

I need some assistance with this please.....

Hi Josh,

If you use clickonce to publish your application,you can use automatic application updates of ClickOnce.

You need to choose a ClickOnce update strategy. For example, if you choose check for application update before startup, then it will detect if there any new release of the ClickOnce application and auto update if there is.

For more details, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s22azw1e.aspx
