Hi,

Is there any way to intimate the user to upgrade to the latest version available for any application using afaria ?

can we add any logic to achieve this in code?

Ex: For I.E if any latest version is available,when we open I.E , we get a pop up to upgrade to the latest version. In a similar manner i would like to intimate the user to upgrade to the latest version for application which i have developed.

So what are the possible ways to do that ?

Please can anyone provide me a solution ?

Hi,

1. Maintain the application version in the database.
2. On Application load check the installed version with New Version in Database.
3. If the Version in Database is higher than the existing application version then give an option to user to download the latest files from the server.

Let me know if you need any help.

I am not convinced with The idea of "Prasad" of saving the version in a database, you just have to use your assambly version, and upgrade the version each time you upgrade the application.

It sounds better approach than me.
