I have a C# WinForms application published in the Microsoft Store but am not able to facilitate updates. To my understanding, updates have to be facilitated in the application itself. The examples in the documentation are relevant to UWP and it has taken a lot of digging and manipulating for 'some' of the classes and types in that code to at least be recognized in the WinForms application such as including References to Windows.Services and Windows.Foundation so now I have it to the point where the StoreContext class is at least recognized but the methods called have a number incompatibilities to be resolved. So, is there a C# WinForms Windows Store update example? Thank You for your consideration.
