Finish Synchronization

Information about the new AppLife Update project must be included in your application source code.  This information can be transferred using the Windows Clipboard.

 

If your application is not forms based, or you would prefer to create and instantiate the Update Controller in code, you can paste a code snippet in either C#, VB.net, or XAML.

 

The properties that are synchronized are:

1.   Application ID
A globally unique identifier (GUID) that uniquely identifies your application.  The ID of an update package must match the application ID set in the Update Controller to be applied.

2.   Public Key Token
An AppLife Update project file (aup) contains an RSA public-private key pair.  When an update is built, the resulting update package is signed using the private key.  When the Update Controller embedded in your application downloads an update package, it uses the signature and the public key token to verify that the package was built by its corresponding project file.  It is important that you back up your project file (aup).  If your project file is lost, you will not be able to build updates for your application.

3.   Update Location
The update location is where the Update Controller will look to find updates for your application.
