[Avenger 0]

Hello,

This is how to make an auto updater

STart Vb.net new windows form.

Needed:

Webbrowser

timer

Button (click it to download update)

 

 

Step1. Create an yola acount and an site at yola.com

Example: i use: avengerupdater.yolasite.com

 

Add some text example: Version 1.0

 

Now the vb coding

 

Step2.

add in form1.load:

		WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://avengerupdater.yolasite.com/")

make also a header (some other text ) And name it as example: Updater of avenger

 

then Create a timer (enabled = true) and add:

		If WebBrowser1.DocumentText.Contains("Version 1.0") Then
		Timer2.Enabled = False
		MsgBox("No update Needed", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "This program is up to date!")
	Else
		Timer2.Enabled = False
		MsgBox("Your version is outdated, would you like to update?", MsgBoxStyle.Question, "Outdated software detected!")
		Button1.Show()
	End If

 

Step3. Button 1 is the button that downloads the new update.

Make as example in yolasite another page and call it download

And add this to button of download update if your program name is updater and NEXT NEXT NEXT Version is the name updater version 2

WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://avengerupdater.yolasite.com/resources/Updater%20version2")

This will download the file

 

Some extra yola tips:

First Create Site

Take as Category: Other

Choose a website name

Pick a style (Free is recommend you wont use the site for something else i guess) I Used DEcayed

Change: Welcome To Our Site Into: Updater of avenger (needed some steps before)

Change: Click here to edit this text. Into: Version 1.0

Now click add page, Webpage, Name = Download (Show in navigation true)

 

Now how to make it patch?

 

Goto your site creator.

Change Version 1.0 into 2.0

In the new program change at the timer Version 1.0 to Version 2.0

And cahnge add download button /resources/updater%20version2 into /resources/updater%20version3

Goto Download (the one in navigation menu)

Add Your New File Called Updater Version2

As shown in Download button (ignore %20 and btw if it has more spaces, Every space = %20)

If it doesnt includes spaces then dont use %20
