Absolutely vague and uncertain question. Please review your working methods. Why making people to do guesswork?
I answered, but if this is wrong topic, please don't blame me.

There are a lot of ways you can achieve this, a simple one is to use "Click Once" deployment on a standard application in Visual Studio. It has this facility built it, however if you want a manual one that your application calls then there are various approaches you can take.

I suggest you do the following:

a) decide how you want your "updater" to work:
------- is it checking a network location?
------- is it querying a web server? etc etc
b) do some initial research via your friendly neighborhood search engine (Google is my first choice).
c) attempt some code and then ask specific questions.

Most people here are not interested in giving complete solutions when they feel that the person asking the question has done nothing to start with. However you may be lucky and someone will happily give you the complete solution you are looking for, although I doubt it.

The question is too vague to discuss anything seriously. However, most of such questions are about polling a database. If this is the case, I am using a nice simple and safe scheme which might help you: Polling Database with Timer[^].
