Update Feature on VB.Net Application?

[BleepyE]

Is it possible to have a feature where the application checkes for updates every 7 days or each launch?

If so, please could someone point me in the correct direct to adding this to one of my applications.

Thanks

If your deploying your app as a click once app its real easy.

How are you deploying?

Well Ibwas creating installers but because I'm updating it a fair amount, i got bored of creating them very quickly.

So now I'm just building it and using the .exe

I found this on the web and used it for my app, with some minor tweaking.

So far so good.

I stuck to this in the end. Thanks
