[Tutorial] How to do an autopatch with Visual Basic 2008

[pablito7]

Add to your form one Button.

Delete the code from the button and put this:

Imports System.Net
Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim Web As New WebClient
Dim Update As String = Web.DownloadString(“)
If Update.Contains(“New Version”) Then
MsgBox(“New Version Available”)
Button1.Visible = True
Else
MsgBox(“No Actualizations available”)
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(“, “C:\Auto Patcher\file.zip”)
End Sub
End Class

Explanation of the code:

Dim Web As New WebClient
Dim Update As String = Web.DownloadString(“)
If Update.Contains(“New Version Available”) Then
MsgBox(“New Version Avalable!”)
Button1.Visible = True
Else
MsgBox(“No actualizations available!”)
End If

This Verify if the contains New Version Available.If it haves It gona show New Version Avalable!.

If the FIle doesn't contains New Version Available it gona show No actualizations available!

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(“, “C:\Auto Patcher\Ficheiro.zip”)

This gona Download (if it exists) to the folder C:\Auto Patcher.

If you want to do a better auto patcher Then Use Skins of the oficials Clients.

That is very simple, but I would add a Progressbar, which compares the listed files in the .txt with the files in the client...
