    If you're talking about updating the mobile app with new version than you've to design your app in such a manner that parts of the app can be updated. However this might not be possible all times and in which case you've to uninstall & reinstall the app.

    You can use Web Service & other mechanisms to download the new version & initiate an update.

    I don't believe clickonce is supported.

    if you're connectivity dependent to begin with, keep as much functionality as you can within web services.

    if you need to update a local binary, you don't have a lot of options -- do an md5 digest comparison between installed and remotely maintained binaries, download as necessary. a separate executable that's called after a binary download should handle the job of replacing the existing binary after the app shuts down.
