Manual update of a clickonce deployment

Bill Cunnien — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:42:32 GMT

After my application is running, I have a timer that periodically checks for new updates. When it finds that there are updates available, the application updates the status bar alerting the user to the new update. The user can choose to update the application by simply clicking the menu item, "Help" - "Get Updates." When they click that menu item, I throw up a WaitWindow (love these little guys) letting the user know that an update is in progress. After the update is complete, I am hiding that WaitWindow, then I send the command to the application to restart. Everything seems to be ok, except I get a small, standard Windows message box that is titled "MicroFour StrataFrame Base" and a message that says "Disposed..." The application restarts just fine, but this message box hangs around until I click the OK button. Looks like there is no other damage anywhere. Why is this message box popping up? Can I do anything about this? Is it related to the WaitWindow somehow?

Thanks!
Bill

Glad you got it going.

This works:

waitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow();
ApplicationDeployment ad = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
ad.Update();
Application.Restart();

For some reason, calling HideWaitWindow() bothers the application restart sequence.

:cool:

Here is the code snippet:

waitWindow1.ShowWaitWindow();
ApplicationDeployment ad = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
ad.Update();
waitWindow1.HideWaitWindow();
Application.Restart();

The anomaly only appeared after I decided to throw in a WaitWindow for aesthetic purposes. I removed the wait window and it works fine...no message box. Like this:

ApplicationDeployment ad = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
ad.Update();
Application.Restart();

I'll see if I can work up a stack trace for you.

Thanks,
Bill

Well, something is being referenced that is already disposed. I would need more details before I could give you any type of direction, stack-trace, etc.
