Console Debug to find errors

[digitaico]

I've followed the class documentation and even some guides found on the web. However, when loading my c# wpf app, there is no update dialog. I want to know if there is a method to print on console, any errors. Thanks.

did you try handling the update logic yourself by subscribing to CheckForUpdateEvent? You can do it like this.

AutoUpdater.CheckForUpdateEvent += AutoUpdaterOnCheckForUpdateEvent;

private void AutoUpdaterOnCheckForUpdateEvent(UpdateInfoEventArgs args)
{
    if (args != null)
    {
        if (args.IsUpdateAvailable)
        {
            var dialogResult =
                MessageBox.Show(
                    string.Format(
                        "There is new version {0} available. You are using version {1}. Do you want to update the application now?",
                        args.CurrentVersion, args.InstalledVersion), @"Update Available",
                    MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                    MessageBoxIcon.Information);

            if (dialogResult.Equals(DialogResult.Yes))
            {
                try
                {
                    //You can use Download Update dialog used by AutoUpdater.NET to download the update.

                    AutoUpdater.DownloadUpdate();
                }
                catch (Exception exception)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(exception.Message, exception.GetType().ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK,
                        MessageBoxIcon.Error);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show(@"There is no update available please try again later.", @"No update available",
                MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(
                @"There is a problem reaching update server please check your internet connection and try again later.",
                @"Update check failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    }
}

did above solution fix your issue?

[ravibpatel]

Now you can set ReportErrors to true and it will show you the errors.

Hi @ravibpatel thanks for your answer, I indeed used ReportErrors, however the class is working fine so no errors reported, thanks again for sharing.

Now you can set ReportErrors to true and it will show you the errors.

Does it also show errors even when the UpdateInfoEventArgs is null?
If so, where does it show those?

[ravibpatel]

Yes, It will show error when UpdateInfoEventArgs is null.
