    <p>I've done the exact thing this in an application of my own.</p> <p>First, you store an XML file on your webhost that holds the updater information. Mine is at <a href="http://getquitter.com/version.xml" rel="nofollow">http://getquitter.com/version.xml</a> and is structured as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;versioninformation&gt; &lt;latestversion&gt;1.2.0.0&lt;/latestversion&gt; &lt;latestversionurl&gt;http://www.getquitter.com/quitter-1.2.0.zip&lt;/latestversionurl&gt; &lt;filename&gt;quitter-1.2.0.zip&lt;/filename&gt; &lt;/versioninformation&gt; </code></pre> <p>Second, write a method to retrieve that xml from your host:</p> <pre><code>Public Function GetWebPage(ByVal URL As String) As String Dim Request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(New Uri(URL)), HttpWebRequest) With Request .Method = "GET" .MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 4 .MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 4 .ContentLength = 0 End With Dim ReadStream As StreamReader = Nothing Dim Response As HttpWebResponse = Nothing Dim ResponseText As String = String.Empty Try Response = CType(Request.GetResponse, HttpWebResponse) Dim ReceiveStream As Stream = Response.GetResponseStream ReadStream = New StreamReader(ReceiveStream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8) ResponseText = ReadStream.ReadToEnd Response.Close() ReadStream.Close() Catch ex As Exception ResponseText = String.Empty End Try Return ResponseText End Function </code></pre> <p>Next, call this method to get the xml and load into an xml document.</p> <pre><code>Dim VersionInfo As New System.Xml.XmlDocument VersionInfo.LoadXml(GetWebPage("http://www.getquitter.com/version.xml")) </code></pre> <p>With version.xml loaded, you can now parse out the individual pieces of data you need to determine whether or not you need to grab the new version.</p> <pre><code>Dim LatestVersion As New Version(QuitterInfoXML.SelectSingleNode("//latestversion").InnerText) Dim CurrentVersion As Version = My.Application.Info.Version If LatestVersion &gt; CurrentVersion Then ''download the new version using the Url in the xml End If </code></pre> <p>This is how my application does it. You can download the source code if you like (it's an open source application) if you'd like to use it as a model. It's at <a href="http://quitter.codeplex.com" rel="nofollow">http://quitter.codeplex.com</a>. Hope this helps!</p>

    1. COsorry for the late reply back. It worked just the way I wanted it to. I used your xml format, but made a tiny change to it so I could add a change log. I've also added you to the about page, and a link to your site.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
