I have to agree with Paul_S. I would like to use this with my project but your Documentation is awful. Please provide real instructions.

Project Description
NetSparkle is an easy-to-use software update framework for .NET developers on Windows, MAC or Linux. It was inspired by the Sparkle (http://bit.ly/HWyJd) project for Cocoa developers and the WinSparkle (http://bit.ly/cj5kP5) project (a Win32 port).

This framework contains a lot of features, please check them out:

True self-updating, no work required from user based on Windows Installer packages
Uses appcasts for release information
Displays release news to the user via Internet Explorer Control
Displays a detailed progress window to the user
NetSparkle requires no code in your app, so it's trivial to upgrade or remove the module
Seamless integration—there's no mention of NetSparkle; your icons and app name are used
Supports DSA signatures for ultra-secure updates
UpdateChecker-Helper for start menu integration
i18n support see localization section

In the future we are planning to realize all the other well know Sparkle features as well:

Optionally sends user demographic information to the server when checking for updates
NetSparkle can install .exe files for wider installer support
Support for custom consumer logic when a update was detected

Detailed usage information can be found in our codeplex documentation wiki and

SharpBox 1.1 SR1

Samstag, 27. August 2011 | From Step-by-Step into the cloud

Our brand new and first service release for SharpBox 1.1 is out. This is the first release which follows the idea to deliver every 4 to 6 weeks a small service release with the latest bugfixes from the field. This release contains an important change for all storage provider developers. The assembly AppLimit.CloudComputing.SharpBox.ExperimentalProvider.XXXX.dll contains all storage provider which are not part of the core API. This location should be a home for only a short period of time until the stabilization phase for this provider is finished. We will also offer a short new tutorial about writing storage providers as soon as possible! Everybod who won't wait please check our MockProvider in the trunk tree.

The following overview will give you a brief overview about the changes in this service release:

Feature: Support for CloudMe
Feature: Support for FTP (as experimental provider in the staging area)
Feature: Added sample mock storage provider
Feature: Progressbar callback contains bandwidth information
Feature: Allowed to disable proxy usage with WebRequestManager.Instance.SetEmptyProxySettings
Feature: Added HasChildrens method in ICloudDirectoryEntry interface
Change: Stabilized storage provider API
Change: The up/download progress callback gots a Cancel property to interrupt the transfer!
Change: Migrated transfer progress callback to the common .NET event signature
Fix: WebDAV with NTLM authentication doesn't support unbuffered uploading - Issue 16197
Fix: GenericCurrentCredentials on WebDAV doesn't work - Issue 16192
Fix: TCP Ports different from the standard ports are ignored - Issue 16341
Fix: CreateObjectsFromNetworkStream doesn't parse WebDav PROPFIND response correctly from Apache server - Issue 16346
Fix: A wrong app key or secret does not raise an Unauthorized exception (thanks to tonioplex)
Fix: The method GetFileSystemObjectUri returned a meta data url for DropBox files
Fix: SharpBox crashed when is_deleted property was not part of the DropBox JSON message

A word to all Windows Phone 7 developer: Currently SharpBox is doing well for metadata browsing but the up-/download capabilities are not working well. There a several hacks for this via our API GetFilesystemObjectUrl. Any feedback and help to solve the WP7 problem is welcome.

Feel free to gice us feedback via our codeplex project website or through this blog. We are happy to here from you and your projects with SharpBox!

The latest bits are ready for download here

SharpBox 1.1 ready for production (updated)

Sonntag, 24. Juli 2011 | From Step-by-Step into the cloud

Over 6 months ago we released SharpBox 1.0.3 our last bugfix and service release. In the last few months we were focused on reworking our library core to achieve a couple of simplicity and feature goals. The importants goals from my personal perspective were:

Clear and stable service provider API which allows 3rd part vendors to implement new cloud storage protocols
Adding a well working WebDAV client in our API core to support all the webdav base storage providers by default
Bringing our different libraries together into one to make it usable as easy as possible
Unittest Suite which acts as a reference test suite for new protocol provider

In addition to this goals we worked together with a couple of cloud storage providers to support more services.Thanks to the the vendors who helped us to implement a wider protocol support. As a result SharpBox 1.1 supports the following provider officially:

As I wrote we added a WebDav core to our library, this means SharpBox supports every WebDav provider as well. We are working hard to support all WebDav specifications to 100%, so if you find a bug or missing feature let us know.

From the platform perspective this release offers experimental support for Windows Phone 7 and Android smartphones. Currently we are not far away from getting this things stable with your help. Offical Windows Phone 7 support is planned for the SharpBox 1.1.1 service release based on the feedback of the app developers who are using SharpBox in products currently (SimpleDropBoxViewer, LindyReader).

To be more DropBox license compliant we added special features to implement in your application the DropBox oAuth way of generating an access token. This is very important to get your application commited from the DropBox team. Check out the code arround the static class DropBoxStorageProviderTools and the discussion on our codeplex website.

Last but not least SharpBox 1.1 contains a long list of bugfixes and small enhancements. The following list gives a brief overview about the changes we did:

Feature - Support for a generic WebDav Storage provider
Feature - Support for CIFS and local filesystem abstraction (Experimental)
Feature - Support for Box.NET via WebDav - Issue 14277
Feature - Support for 1&1 SmartDrive via WebDav
Feature - Support for Windows Phone 7 - Issue 14682
Feature - Allow DownloadFile and UploadFile to return Stream and accept Stream - Issue 15033
Feature - Add support for WebExceptions and certificate policies - Issue 15095
Feature - Provider Configuration supports upload and download limits
Feature - Support for a web based authorization process (DropBox only)
Feature - Method to convert a public resource path into public dropbox uri (DropBox only for all files under the /Public folder)
Change - Better documentation and adaption to our .NET4 coding styleguide
Change - SharpBox consist of just one assmbly to make it easier to use the library
Change - Data will be written directly into the network stream, better memory support and real progressbar support - Issue 15462
Change - Exposed DropBox specific information and workflows, e.g. AccountInfo
Change - The WebRequest timeout is fixed to Timeout.Infinite, this allows very long up & downloads
Change - When the cloudstorage exceed the size limit a special SharpBoxException will be generated
Change - Allowed to build customn DropBoxConfiguration objects
Fix - Unable to perform multiple download simultaneously - Issue 15632
Fix - Wrong json timestamp to DateTime-class conversion - Issue 15748
Fix - File was not upload with the new name when the comfort API was used (thanks vsailo)
Fix - Missing JsonReader when compiled with MonoTouch 4.03 - Issue 15966
Fix - Reference to parent was set to null when renamed file was created
Fix - The new size of an uploaded file was not written into the length field after upload
Fix - Wrong encoding during upload of files with german umlauts - Issue 15718
Fix - When a user tries to access an removed file directly DropBox returns a datastructure with information about this file. This are interpreted as valid file

To support more quality and offer a broader platform support we need your help. We are looking around for people who like to share with us experiences in the mobile devices area. We hope to get more feedback what is missing to support a realy good usable library on the important smartphone operating systems.

Feel free to send us feedback via our codeplex site or this blog. You can download SharpBox 1.1 from here!

New Comment on "Documentation"

Paul_S — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:34:12 GMT

There is nowhere near enough detailed information and examples to complete a project here, or to evaluate your project for suitability. Unfortunately this is the norm for the internet. Even your code example does not follow the content of your text -- where is the "private attribute"? My application consists of a suite of 5 exe files, and is normally distributed using a single .msi file. I give the users a web link to a zip file that contains a single .msi file. How is an auto update with sparkle handled in this situation?
