Hi All,

I want a utility that would detect the new updates available for a particular software. The new update information will be stored in the database on a remote server. When the client clicks on a link, a check has to be performed to find which files are out of date & have these files displayed to the client.The client then decided to download then from the remote server.
I intend to use .NET for this purpose. But since I am new to it, am absolutely clueless how to get going.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks in advance.
Ed

Hi and welcome to Webmasterworld.

We programmed something like this for our own software packages. We did it in PHP using a MySQL database in a Linux server.

It's actually a straightforward project - regardless what language you chose.

But don't hope to get something like that "off the shelve". You need to do it yourself to have it properly customized.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

It may be simple, but for a novice like me it looks difficult considering the related security issues.

I intend to use .NET and Access DB.

Can you provide me with some tips on how to go about?

Best Regards,
Ed
