Submitted by GeePee on
Introduction: This tutorial is on how to create an update checker tool. Note; this is not a software/application self updating feature, this is to check whether there are new versions of another program/video/audio file ready to view. Purpose: I am going to be making this program for BBC iPlayer so I can check if there are new episodes of certain TV Shows I watch.

Introduction: This tutorial is on how to create an auto update function for a program in Visual Basic. Notes: - You will need a website for the latest version to be hosted for download and checking. Or, for testing you can use localhost like I am (I'm using XAMPP). - If you're using a localhost, only people on your network can use this auto update function. Steps of Creation: Before we start we want to create a new form with one button for the update process to begin.
