Description

A fork of the NetSparkle CodePlex repository

From the CodePlex page

NetSparkle is an easy-to-use software update framework for .NET developers on Windows, MAC or Linux. It was inspired by the Sparkle (http://bit.ly/HWyJd) project for Cocoa developers and the WinSparkle (http://bit.ly/cj5kP5) project (a Win32 port).

The main project's webpage is on CodePlex.

Requirements

  • Visual Studio 2010

Dependencies

  • NLog (included in lib/, you may want to update).

Differences with CodePlex

I forked NetSparkle because I had some requirements for a client program that weren't easily met by the standard version.

  • This version allows for a custom UI instead of the two Windows Forms dialog
  • Allows for one-time check for updates instead of running on a loop
  • Allows for custom configuration objects instead of reading/writing to the registry
  • Refactored the diagnostic to use NLog instead of a custom filestream
  • Refactored exiting the application to fire an event for shutdown instead of Environment.Exit
