c# clickonce events?

Question

Is there an event fired straight after or during a clickonce update that I can overload or subscribe to?

Answer 1

You can subscribe to the following events

• CheckForUpdateCompleted - Occurs when CheckForUpdateAsync has completed.
• CheckForUpdateProgressChanged - Occurs when a progress update is available on a CheckForUpdateAsync call.
• DownloadFileGroupCompleted - Occurs on the main application thread when a file download is complete.
• DownloadFileGroupProgressChanged - Occurs when status information is available on a file download operation initiated by a call to DownloadFileGroupAsync.
• UpdateCompleted - Occurs when ClickOnce has finished upgrading the application as the result of a call to UpdateAsync.
• UpdateProgressChanged - Occurs when ClickOnce has new status information for an update operation initiated by calling the UpdateAsync method.
