Usage

Make config XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
    <url>https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/regergdfgdbdfb/DownloadTest.zip</url>
    <Whats_new>Performance improvement</Whats_new>
</item>

Upload XML to you server and get URL for it. You Can upload e.g. to Dropbox.

(After you get public URL change it to: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/[FILE_ID]/[FILENAME])

Set URL to your XML file

Update.SetUrlToXml("http://URL_to_XML"); //[bool] return true if url is valid

Set current version

Update.SetCurrentVersion("1.2.0"); //[bool] return true if string is valid Version

Now you can check if new version is present

await Update.CheckForNewVersionAsync(); //[bool] return true is new version is available

After that you have two option, you can download file define in URL

await Update.DownloadFileAsync(@"E:\Shared\My_App\My_App_New.zip"); //[bool] return true is download is complete

or open URL in browser

Update.OpenURL();

If you download file you can view progress

Update.DownloadedProgress += Update_DownloadedProgress;

private static void Update_DownloadedProgress(long byteDownloaded, long byteToDownload, double perCentProgress)
   {
       Console.WriteLine($"Downloaded: {byteDownloaded} from: {byteToDownload} | {perCentProgress}");
   }

To read other value from XML use Dictionary<string, string>.

Dictionary<string, string> AllXMLValue = await Update.ReadAllValueFromXmlAsync();
AllXMLValue.TryGetValue("Whats_new", out string whatsNew);

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(whatsNew))
    Console.WriteLine($"New version contein: {whatsNew}");

Error handling

By default all error are ignored. If you want to catch some, set this at the beginning.

Update.IsEnableError = true;

Now you can use try...catch.
