Check for updates in the background
When my toddler wants to play, he want's to play NOW. Waiting for the ClickOnce to check for available updates on startup makes the startup a bit slow, so it would be better to check for updates in the background and either notify on exit or on next startup (preferably exit as this is probably the time when toddlers have found something new and interesting and (s)he doesn't care if BabySmash is updating :)

Good point. I’ll do some testing and try to switch to checking on exit. Would you prefer that, or check when the Options Dialog is shown?

Yes startup checking can take a while, can we have an option to do manual checking if we want to instead?

I think that the update check should be performed in the background while the app is running, but asking the user to upgrade (if updates are available) should be done on exit. And it would also be nice to have a "Check for updates"-button in the options dialog.
