handling internet connection errors

[seltix5]

hello,

after analising the code to try to handle the internet connections errors myself, I think it is not possible?
from what I understand, here :

AutoUpdater.NET/AutoUpdater.NET/AutoUpdater.cs

Line 288 in 974a876

var result = CheckUpdate(assembly);

if the CheckUpdate() throws a exception it will never call StartUpdate() and there is no other way to manually handle the error other than the ReportErrors variable to show the message.

Maybe the StartUpdate() should be in a separate try catch ? that way this code example could work :

AutoUpdater.NET/AutoUpdaterTest/FormMain.cs

Line 217 in f07d5da

@"There is a problem reaching update server. Please check your internet connection and try again later.",

or throw the exception if ReportErrors is false ?

thanks!

I agree.
my app is check update at start (force update if available, no cancel, no next time), after that enter main app ui.
but if user network not working, whole app is stuck at update checking.
no failed message, no exception thrown, no event fired.
to fixed that , I had to check that url is reachable or not, before call update check.

I suggest that, add a 'FailedReason' enum type in event parameter, it can tell what error type of this failure.
like network issue / domain issue / host connection issue / http response error/ xml parse error / no error

in my project is use the NuGet version ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/Autoupdater.NET.Official/1.6.3?_src=template ), how does it work for updates? since apparently there is no new update there.
Thanks!
