Hello,
The next version of my application will include some major changes to the way the application works and I want to make sure the users of my program are aware of the changes so they can take advantage of the extra features.
Is there a way to force the automatic updater control to display the change notes when it finds an update? Like some flag I can set in wyBuild to have the release notes open and ask the user if they want to upgrade, not just when the user happens to click the icon to show the notes.
I guess I can modify the automatic update controller for future version and add some sort of flag or else always ask the user if they want to update, but that doesn't help for current versions already released.
(Perhaps a better example is in a previous version of my program I messed up the closingforupdate event and was causing an uncaught exemption, so to update the program required the user to reinstall rather than update. Being able to show a message to the user when an update is found I could have conveyed the need to reinstall via this message rather than just hoping the users would check my website for the notice they had to redownload and install.)
Thanks!
Hey Joel,
You can force showing the changes after the update has taken place. Use the UpdateSuccessful event along with the Changes property.
But there's no way to force an old version of your app to forcefully show changes. (Unless you have a time machine).
