#SharpUpdater

This is a class, which can update your c# program, without having an extra program.

This project is based on BetterCoder's work.
I added the functionality, to update multiple files.

##How to use

The great thing about the project is, it is simply to use.

###Changes in you project 1. Reference your project to SharpUpdate 2. Inherit the ISharpUpdatable Interface to your main class 3. Implement ISharpUpdatable 4. Create an SharpUpdater object and run DoUpdate()

using System;
...
using SharpUpdate;

namespace MainFormNamespace
{
    public class MainFormClass : Form, ISharpUpdatable
    {
        public MainFormClass()
        {
            SharpUpdater su = new SharpUpdater(this);
            su.DoUpdate();
        }
    }
}

###Upload your porject

1. Create your upload.xml like so

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <sharpUpdate>
      <update appId="UniqueIDforYourProgram">
           <version>"Version"</version>
           <file>
               <url>"URLtoYourFile"</url>
               <filename>"FileName"</filename>
               <md5>"Md5Checksum"</md5>
           </file>
           <description>"DescriotionForUpdate"</description>
           <launchArgs>"Launch Arguments for your App</launchArgs>
       </update>
   </sharpUpdate>
   

   or use my XMLCreator

2. Upload your porgram with all additional files and your update.xml to a webserver.

That's it, that's all folks.
