.NET AutoUpdater Library

[Phant0m]

Hello, i've written an AutoUpdater library in C#.
This is for anyone with a custom made .NET Launcher for their game that wants to include an autoupdate function.

Usage:

            using DiffUpdater;
            //Leave "user" and "pw" empty if http is used, otherwise specify login information.
            if (UpdateProgress.needUpdate("ftp://109.169.72.xxx", "user", "pw"))
            {
                Form Updater = new UpdateProgress();
                Updater.ShowDialog();
            }
            else
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }

Report any bugs here, so I can work them out.
Note: Code is really messy, sorry. Will fix later...

So.. how exactly are the files set up for the web/CDN server for downloads?

[Phant0m]

You have clearly not downloaded the Release folder i attached...
There is an Update Manager named "UpdateManager.exe", from there you can upload to FTP or manually upload elsewhere.

Would be better if writing in pascal obj , it's faster a lot !
p/s:
you should build client / server to get authentication , to prevent user from free downloading , user other port , just use IIS open http and change its port

Actually I did download it, but I'm not running a random EXE file from someone who can't even document their code correctly.

Not to mention you provided nearly no instruction on how to actually use this, but thats beside the point...

Well then, did you not the the Manager?
FYI, there is something called VirusTotal and there is nothig more to document I think. Just needUpdate() and call new Form...

I can code C# and that's about it.
I will probably add some more features, such as the ones you mentioned, in the future. Thanks!

{
//... code
}

Is there any chance that you could publish the source code for the library?

[Phant0m]

Yeah sure. Let me clean it up a bit and I will publish it here.

Would it be easy to port it over to WPF? Or would a larger amount of work we required.

[Phant0m]

It should be fairly easy I think.
As soon as I get home I will start cleaning the code and then you can do whatever you want with it.

[James]

I'm gonna move this to coders paradise! Seems to fit better there, plus it might help it to get used/seen more

Any update yet? :)

How is the exact condition UpdateProgress.needUpdate() returns true, is it game specific or what? It was in any game section before I guess, now it's here in coders paradise.

It reads a remote file (UpdateList.ini) and compares line 1 to a local file (local.ver). I'm assuming that line contains a revision number.
