Yes it is. You can manipulate with tables, details, commits, comments of new updates etc.. Like FileZilla updater I'm making actually Smile

This seems a bit incomplete to me...Seems you're missing information about grabbing the assembly version, and how to compare the version numbers to see if the downloaded version is larger than the one provided by the assembly.

OT: I tend to like to stay away from .NET, mostly Visual Basic. I'm more of a C-based syntax type of guy.
