Auto updating my winforms application

Question

Hai everyone I am doing an application and in that I want to auto update my application if a new version is available. I have gone through some documents but didn't get a clear idea. Any samples. Please help me.

Implementing auto updates needs some work. You will have to maintain a server and a database. The server should run a Web Service (or some kind of communication remote) that will be called by the application OR application needs to listen to the server (this is not recommended but doable). You need to implement in application when application starts it will check if server has a new version (based on data on the server and compare with current application version on client machine). If yes download and install it. P.S. - Please post all of your questions in proper forum categories.
