Usage

In Windows Forms or WPF applications, you can use the CheckForUpdates method in the Form_Load event to check for updates when the application starts.

Check for Updates

To check for updates, use the CheckForUpdates method. This method checks the README file in the specified GitHub repository for a line containing "Latest Version = x.x.x.x".

using AadiSoftUpdater;

bool isUpdateAvailable = await AadiSoftUpdater.CheckForUpdates("github_username", "repository_name", "Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString()");

if (isUpdateAvailable)
{
	// Update is available
}
else
{
	// No update available
}

Update the Application

To update the application, use the UpdateApp method. This method downloads the latest MSI file from the specified GitHub repository's releases and installs it.

await AadiSoftUpdater.UpdateApp("github_username", "repository_name", "MSI_File_Name", "Product_Code_of_App");

Example

using System;
using System.Reflection;

using AadiSoftUpdater;

class Program
{
	static async Task Main(string[] args)
	{
		string githubRepoOwner = "yourGithubUsername";
