The following code example uses UpdateAvailable to determine if there is a new application update, and IsUpdateRequired to determine whether to ask the user to install the update.

Remarks

With CheckForUpdateCompletedEventArgs, you can decide whether to upgrade your ClickOnce application based on information about the newest version. UpdateAvailable will return a Boolean value indicating whether there is a new update at all. The AvailableVersion property provides the version number of the new version, while MinimumRequiredVersion provides the earliest version that the user should have installed on the computer. IsUpdateRequired expresses whether the latest available update is required of the user. Finally, UpdateSizeBytes expresses the total size of the update.

Properties

AvailableVersion	Gets the version number of the latest uninstalled version.
IsUpdateRequired	Gets a value indicating whether the update must be installed.
MinimumRequiredVersion	Gets the minimum version that the user must have installed on the computer.
UpdateAvailable	Gets whether an uninstalled update is available.
UpdateSizeBytes	Gets the size of the available update.
