I was reading an article today on Symbian Guru about how more and more S60 developers are doing the right thing by including an automatic check for updates to their code. It guilted me in to realizing that it’s one of the big features that was missing from my TunerFreeMCE application. It also made me realize that I didn’t know what the best practice was for things like that, so I googled “c# check for new program version” and frankly what came back was irrelevant or overly complex. I had some very simple requirements;
- Minimal web traffic – I pay for this hosting you know!
- Minimal application impact
- Easy for the user
