            }

it always says there is an update when there is not

1. WebClient is deprecated, use HttpClient 2. See if using the link to the raw paste works, instead of the link to the whole-ass page

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

I have no knowledge on how to use httpClient sooooooo idk about that

Angius•3y ago

Knowledge is a thing that can be gained It's cool like that

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

yea no shit and there isnt any good tutorials anyway

Angius•3y ago

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpclient?view=net-6.0

HttpClient Class (System.Net.Http)

Provides a class for sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses from a resource identified by a URI.

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

whats the difference between the two?

Angius•3y ago

HttpClient is properly asynchronous, for one

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

raw didnt solve the issue either, will using http client solve the issue? or I need to do something different

Angius•3y ago

Not sure, it might Also, forgot to ask: what do you mean by "doesn't work" in the first place?

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

always says it has an update but the raw on pastebin is 0.0.1

Angius•3y ago

Ah, right Well You have ! there And the file does not contain 0.0.2 So... it's true

NikolaaaOP•3y ago

oh I forgot to delete ! because I tried making it when it detects that the version is not the current one then it updates also Is there a way to make everything update for example if I would add dlls it would not update it only updates the exe
