GitHub Update

This project has been abandoned by the owner as I do not use GitHub anymore. Feel free to fork and improve it, if you'd like.

If you want to take over the NuGet package, go ahead and contact me at [email protected].

Easy way to check if your C# program is up to date using GitHub Releases

Installing

PM> Install-Package GitHubUpdate

Example

var checker = new UpdateChecker("nixxquality", "WebMConverter") // uses your Application.ProductVersion

UpdateType update = await checker.CheckUpdate();

if (update == UpdateType.None)
{
  // Up to date!
}
else
{
  // Ask the user if he wants to update
  // You can use the prebuilt form for this if you want (it's really pretty!)
  var result = new UpdateNotifyDialog(checker).ShowDialog();
  if (result == DialogResult.Yes)
  {
    checker.DownloadAsset("Converter.zip"); // opens it in the user's browser
  }
}
