Automatic updater - can i make it less automatic

Hi

I have the automatic updater working fine in my C# application. When I start the app it detects a new version and downloads it. I can then see the changes, force install now or install on next start of the app - fine.

What I would like to do is silently check for the the update. If one exists then show my own dialog, with the changes so the user can choose to install now or later, be reminded in 5 days etc.Once they have made their choices then the auto updater can do its thing as it does now.

I can see there are properties on the component that expose what i need but i cant quite see how to stop it working automatically.

Could you help please?

Hey Richard,

If you want the automatic updater to only check for updates then set the "UpdateType" property to "OnlyCheck". If you want the automatic updater to check & download updates then set the AutomaticUpdater "UpdateType" to "CheckAndDownload".

Does this help?

I would think so - cant try it at the moment.

I think this is the sequence...

I set it to OnlyCheck

If UpdateAvailable fires i can then do my own thing

Depending on what my user selects i then call InstallNow

Yes, that should work.
