GotDotNet User Sample: AppUpdater Extended

"I extended the AppUpdater.dll to support the use of a fileserver or simply any drive or folder, on top of the available WebServer support. All settings (polling rate, etc.) are now stored in an .ini file and can be changed dynamically inside the main application with one simple statement. The whole process has extensive logging that may be enabled by a simple setting in the ini file. Not all functions of the dll have been tested though: for instance, the handling of strongly named updates has to be tested yet. Oh yes, I ported the source to VB... It's worthwhile to have a look at how event raising between threads is handled."

I've used the original AppUpdater component in a number internal apps and it does the job quite well. Nice to see it extended in this way.
