The .NET Application Updater Component
.NET應用程式更新群組件
Included with this whitepaper is a component for enabling .NET client applications to automatically update themselves. The component was written using the .NET Framework and enables you to make your application auto-updatable simply by dropping the component into your existing .NET applications and setting a few properties (ex. where to get updates from).
包括在這份白皮書中的是一個可使.NET用戶端應用程式自動更新自身的組件。該組件使用.NET架構編寫,這使得你可以通過簡單的把該組件拖放到你現存的應用程式中並設定一些屬性(比如從何處擷取更新)就可以使你的應用程式具備自動更新的功能。
This component is not a Microsoft product. It is intended as a sample to get you started and as such the source is also included with this whitepaper. However, it is worth mentioning that this component has gotten a fair amount of real world use already. It has been used internally in Microsoft to enable auto-updatability in the .NET Terrarium game (<http://www.gotdotnet.com/terrarium/>). Terrarium has been installed and used by over 10,000 individuals since it was first unveiled as a beta product in October, 2001.
該組件不是微軟的產品。它將被試圖作為一個樣本使得你能夠開始,並且與該白皮書一起的還有儘可能多的資源。不過,值得提出的是該組件在真實應用中已經被大量的使用。在微軟內部用.NET開發的遊戲Terrarium的自動更新就使用了該組件(<http://www.gotdotnet.com/terrarium/>)。從2001年十月 Terrarium露出面紗到現在,已經被超過1萬多個人使用者安裝並使用。
This component will be the basis for the discussion of what it takes to make an application auto-updatable. This paper will focus on how the .NET Application Updater component works and how you can use it in your own application.
該組件是討論如何讓一個應用程式自動可更新的基礎。這篇文章將集中論述.NET應用程式更新群組件是如何工作的,並且教你如何將它應用到你自己的應用程式中。
