OK, I have created an application that is used by a large number of employees but it is a new app so I am constantly updating it using ClickOnce over the web. I have ClickOnce set to check for updates every time before the app opens.

The problem is that a lot of our employees leave the app open all day and sometimes overnight, so when there are updates they aren't getting them. Is there a way to check for updates while the app is up and force the users to update it when there is?

Thanks

You can use the System.Deployment namespace (you might need to add a reference to System.Deployment.dll) to drive updates from code.  If you are using VB, you can use My.Application.Deployment instead.

 

 

Here you go:

Hope this helps.
