Okey, im posting this simple updating system I made.

What are we going to use?

• Webclient
  
• Label
  
• If/Else
  
• DownloadFile
  

Ok, in your program put:

Under Class Form1

Code

Dim Version As String = "1.0"

Form1.Load

Code

Label1.text = Version

Next, we need a host for our file, which we use, to upload the .exe and see if theres a update.

Upload a text file to your host with ONLY 2.0 in it.

Now lets check for a update.
Form1.Load // Buton1

Code

Dim NewVersion As String
Dim WebC As New Webclient

Try
NewVersion = WebC.DownloadString("<linktoversion.txt>")
Catch ex As Exception      
NewVersion =  WebC.DownloadString("<linktoversion.txt>") ' Try again most of the times, if it doesnt connect the first time, it will now.
        End Try
If NewVersion = Version Then
Label2.text = "No New Updates"
else
Label2.text = "New Update!"
End If

Ok, so now it checks if there is a update, you will need to update the text file every time you upload a new update.
Now lets make it download

Button2

Code

Dim Webc As New Webclient
If Label2.text = "New Update!" Then
Webc.DownloadFile("<linktournewfile>", "<nameuwantittoget>")
Label2.text = "No New Updates"
End If

I fully wrote this myself, enjoy.
