Hi.

My name is Roxanne and I am a C++ / C# programmer.

In the company that I’m working at, we are programming a business program for the customers and the software have been done in Visual C++ 6.0
I have to create and add to the software a new feature pretty similar to: (LiveUpdates from Norton antivirus or another software that check for softwares updates through the internet), to let the customers get the new software’s updates.

Can anyone help me out with some ideas of how to do it?
If somebody can help with some ideas or examples codes I’d appreciate it.

Thanks
Roxanne

I have not really messed with the windows api that much., but I'm pretty sure you would need winsock2.h (plus ws2tcpip.h for some things) in the windows api to handle the connections.

You link with the ws2_32 lib when using Winsock 2.

I would search for examples and tutorials on google.
