Is it possible to use AutoUpdater.NET or some parts of it on an ASP.NET API #640
-
|
Hello, I'm currently facing a problem with an API I'm building in ASP.NET, I need to integrate an auto-updater to make it able to update automagically on our clients machine. I looked at some issues on StackOverflow and everything but nothing is satisfying me atm and I found this project: AutoUpdater.NET. I know that there are some dependencies to WPF/WinForms but I'd like to know if some parts might be usable in an API in ASP.NET If I'm unclear on what I said or what I want I'd be glad to rephrase my needs! Thank you for helping :) |

You won't be able to use it directly, but there are parts of code you can easily use in your ASP.NET project. For example, update checking logic as shown here should work without much modification. Also, you can use download logic from DownloadUpdateDialog.cs too. Instead of using a separate executable like ZipExtractor you can use the code of ZipExtractor directly after the download finishes. |
