Sync application at Client computer from Server
Hi All,
I have application store inside a folder say "Application"
Every client also have folder "Application'.
Now, every time the client run application, it should sync application that is outdated from server.
Assume there are a lot of file inside the "Application" like *.dll and etc.
How could I do this ?
Thank you.

Hi Huseyin,
I want to use my own form ast "Startup" Application to do the job.
What function should I use to do it from ClickOnce ?
Where could I find the setting for server application folder ?
Thank you.

I dont know the detail, but if you decide on ClickOnce solution, you should read the documentation...

Thank you.
I never used such tool, but I am using hundreds of app that utilizes this function...
first of all, when app starts, it should check a web site/service
that will respond with latest version and where to get the latest copy
then app will download that file
and run another small utility that will extract and overwrite old app
but before calling that, current app should be closed...
after extract/overwrite, app should be called again...
all these steps + web site + ftp is just too much :)
