Auto Updater C#

Question

Hi, I created a calculator in c#. Now I want a create an auto updated that pops a message saying there is an update if there is an update available in the update website. And once the update is installed it should verify that the app is updated to the latest version available meaning that it should not again pop up with the same latest version. It should only pop up when there is a new version uploaded in the update website. I want to do it without ClickOnce. Please provide the code if possible. If it is not possible without ClickOnce then please provide the code for the one which uses ClickOnce

Hi HemanthB-9452,
As far as I know, using click once is the most convenient and simple way. You can choose to check for updates before the application starts before publishing. If an update is available, it will be downloaded and launched; otherwise, the existing version of the application will be launched.

More details please refer to this document.
If you want to update the ClickOnce application programmatically, you must specify the update location. You can write code that uses the ApplicationDeployment class to check for updates based on events.
Some code example has been provided in this document.
Best Regards,
Daniel Zhang
