Examples

The following code example calls CheckForUpdateAsync, and forces an application update if MinimumRequiredVersion is greater than CurrentVersion.

ApplicationDeployment adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin;

private void CheckForUpdateAsyncMin()
{
    if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
    {
        adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
        adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin.CheckForUpdateCompleted += new CheckForUpdateCompletedEventHandler(adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin_CheckForUpdateCompleted);

        adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin.CheckForUpdate();
    }
}

void adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin_CheckForUpdateCompleted(object sender, CheckForUpdateCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Error != null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Could not install application update. Please try again later,  or contact a system administrator.", "Application Update Error");
        return;
    }
    else if (e.Cancelled)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The application update has been cancelled.", "Application Update Cancelled");
        return;
    }

    adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
    if (e.MinimumRequiredVersion > adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin.CurrentVersion)
    {
        // Launch an install of the minimum required version. 
        adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin.UpdateCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin_UpdateCompleted);
        adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin.UpdateAsync();
    }
}

void adCheckForUpdateAsyncMin_UpdateCompleted(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // Alert user that update is complete.
    if (e.Error != null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Could not install application update. We will try and upgrade the application later.", "Application Update Error");
        return;
    }
    else if (e.Cancelled)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The application update has been cancelled.", "Application Update Cancelled");
        return;
    }

    MessageBox.Show("The update was successful. Your application will now be restarted.", "Restart Application");
    Application.Restart();
}

Remarks

Applications can miss required updates when a user takes on a special assignment or is away from the computer for weeks or months. Use

MinimumRequiredVersion to determine if the user has not upgraded the application in a while, and has missed one or more required updates.
