wodAppUpdate
-
Version
1.5.2
WodAppUpdate component should be used by your
application to quickly, easily, and securely provide
automatic update solution - very popular "check for
updates" functionality. This way you increase value and
functionality of your product because now your
customers always have the most newest version - and you
need only 3 lines of code to provide it! wodAppUpdate
uses configuration file it finds on the server of your
choice (HTTP, HTTPS or FTP) and then determines if
local files need to be replaced or not. Works with any
development tool capable of generating apps which can
host an ActiveX control.
wodAppUpdate uses configuration file it finds on the
server of your choice and then determines if local
files need to be replaced or not.
You can send any additional information via URL to the
server - and that way determine if user is allowed to
update the application, if he uses regular licensed
version etc - using your own server-side scripting.
wodAppUpdate doesn't really care what you send and what
do you do on the server side.
wodAppUpdate can be also used to provide "admin
messages" to your users. You can prepare message and
store them on the server, and your application can show
them (whenever you want) to the user.
During the update process you can control
wodAppUpdate's behavior. You can change file versions,
their paths, you can force them (not) to be downloaded
by setting NeedReplace property - etc.. You (or the
user that uses your application) can cancel ongoing
update anytime you want.
You can hide wodAppUpdate and silently perform the
update, or you can use our own progress window and show
it to end-user. wodAppUpdate will not initiate anything
by itself, still you have full control, but it tries to
make it as simple for you as possible, and yet very
effective. You can also make your own dialogs since
wodAppUpdate provides interface to integrate your
application fully into the update process.
