Application.CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompleted Event

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Occurs when the application has finished checking for updates in response to a CheckAndDownloadUpdateAsync method call.

Namespace:  System.Windows
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Event CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompleted As CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompletedEventHandler
public event CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompletedEventHandler CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompleted
<Application CheckAndDownloadUpdateCompleted="eventhandler"/>

Remarks

In the event handler, the UpdateAvailable property is true if a newer version of the application was discovered and successfully downloaded. In this case, you can alert the user to restart the application in order to load the update.

If an application update is available, but uses a newer version of Silverlight that the user has not yet installed, the update will not be downloaded. This also occurs if an update changes the application to require elevated trust. In both cases, the UpdateAvailable property value is false, and the Error property value is an Exception instance. With a Silverlight version change, the exception is a PlatformNotSupportedException instance. With a security change, the exception is a SecurityException instance. When this happens, you can alert the user to open the application's host Web site, triggering your HTML-based Silverlight upgrade experience.

NoteNote:

In general, you should check for updates only with the consent of the user, and notify the user when an update is available.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use this event. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Implement Offline Support for Out-of-Browser Applications.
