NETUpdate Administrator
ActiveX Component

(Updated 05/07/2004)

The ActiveX component allows software developers to add the NETUpdate check to their own applications. All you need to do is add the control to your application as you would any other control, and then using some very simple code you can perform the update check and if the result tells you there is an update , you can launch the client download application with 1 simple line of code.

Included with the installation is a sample project written in Visual Basic 6 that shows how simple it is to setup.
