how distribute new version of an application ?

  entirely transparent if you need to replace binaries, not really.

  at run time, you can check version (through assembly info or a hash digest/signature) against a remote filestore, probably most easily through a webservice. if the original app detects a new version, you would need to call a second process (EXE), terminate the original application, and have your second process replace the application itself with the newer files, then restart the original application.

  In the first place thanks in order to have to me answered !!

  In reality my application is written in vb.asp.net and it runs on pda device with win ce 2.0 operating system .Currently , when is developed a new version,users download cab files on a web server and they make a manual installation.I would want to avoid this type of procedure ! Your suggestion is useful for me but do you know if exist some example to which I could make reference

  Still ...thank you very much!!!
