UpdateDisplay Control

The UpdateDisplay control is designed to be placed on an application’s main interface, and upon startup, perform a background update check. If an update is present, a download is automatically initiated, with download progress indication.  When the download completes, the control notifies the user that an update is ready to be applied.

 

This control utilizes minimal screen space, displaying a single 16 X 16 icon and a text label.  The image and label is configurable by the DisplayMode property.  Additionally, the image and text displayed when an update check completes, either with an update available or without, is customizable by setting control properties.  Detailed information about the update is available as a pop up, through the control context menu or control click action.
