If you're not already using it, use Click-Once deployment, and your software will automatically check the download location for a new version of the app. It will only do this when the app is run, and if a new version is available, it will notify the user and prompt them to download the new version. You don't have to do ANYTHING else in your code.

Thnaks, I know and im alreday using this. But what my question is " what if the software is running and a update of version is uploaded and the location is in 100's. What all i do is to mail all of them that please update the software or should a pop up appears on all the machines informing them a new version is available please update. thats what i want to do. I hope you got my question

It sounds to me as if John has answered your question. From a brief reading of ClickOnce deployment (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/142dbbz4(v=vs.80).aspx) - I have never had the opportunity to use it yet myself - it sounds as if it does everything you want. You don't have to e-mail anyone, so I don't know what your comment is about.
Regards,
Ian.
