ApplicationDeployment.CheckForUpdate Method

Definition

Checks UpdateLocation to determine whether a new update is available.

Overloads

CheckForUpdate()

Checks UpdateLocation to determine whether a new update is available.

CheckForUpdate(Boolean)

Checks UpdateLocation to determine whether a new update is available.

CheckForUpdate()

Checks UpdateLocation to determine whether a new update is available.

public:
 bool CheckForUpdate();
public bool CheckForUpdate ();
member this.CheckForUpdate : unit -> bool
Public Function CheckForUpdate () As Boolean

Returns

true if a new update is available; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ClickOnce throws this exception immediately if you call the CheckForUpdate() method while an update is already in progress.

The deployment manifest cannot be downloaded.

The deployment manifest is corrupted. You will likely need to redeploy the application to fix this problem.

Examples

The following code example checks for an application update; if one is available, it installs it synchronously.

public:
    void LaunchUpdateWithTimeout()
    {
        if (ApplicationDeployment::IsNetworkDeployed)
        {
            ApplicationDeployment^ appDeployment =
                ApplicationDeployment::CurrentDeployment;
            appDeployment->UpdateCompleted +=
                gcnew AsyncCompletedEventHandler(this, 
                &Form1::deploy_UpdateCompleted);

            // The Interval property uses millisecond resolution.
            timer1->Interval = (1000 * 60) * 2;
            timer1->Start();

            appDeployment->UpdateAsync();
        }
    }

        if (!e->Cancelled)
        {
            if (nullptr == e->Error)
            {
                Application::Restart();
            }
            else

Remarks

The CheckForUpdate method compares the version of the currently installed deployment with the version specified in the deployment manifest found at UpdateLocation. If the version on the server is different from the installed version, it returns true.

This method will block until the check has completed. To check for an update asynchronously, use the CheckForUpdateAsync method instead.

Note

If CheckForUpdate discovers that an update is available, and the user chooses not to install it, ClickOnce will prompt the user that an update is available the next time the application is run. There is no way to disable this prompting. (If the application is a required update, ClickOnce will install it without prompting.)
