Can't get Application.Restart to work

[Lee]

Hi,

I'm trying to programmaticall y restart my application after downloading
updates, but I can't get the Application.Res tart command to work correctly.
It shuts down my program fine, but then doesn't start up again afterwards.

I read about Click Once in the MSDN but couldn't fathom if CO was supposed
to be a pre-requisite for getting it to work correctly.

Does anyone have any experience with this that could help me out? Or even an
alternative method of restarting a .Net v2.0 application?

Regards,

Lee.

From what I understand, double click on 'My Project' in 'Solution
Explorer'. Click on the option 'Publish' on the left side. Click the
'Updates' button. Check the box 'This application should check for
updates.' This will download new updates if they are available and
restart the program.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

It does look like I may need to publich my application so i'm going to take
some time in looking at how that is done. Thanks for the pointers!

I tried your code and it didn't restart the app, it just closed down as
it did previously. I'm guessing the reason why it's not restarting is
becuase of the publish option? I don't publish my application but
instead upload the files manually to my website for the program to detect.

Oh, I didn't realise you weren't "Publishing " the app. Yes, I'd agree
that everything will work fine once you start publishing, and besides,
it's simpler than having to update manually.
