How to automatically update my application, which is being developed in C #?

Question

I developed my application in C # that uses SQL Server Express as a database. I want to update my application over the Internet. I want to update only myapplication.exe because in the installed folder there is also application.config where the configuration of this server is included, such as server name, instance name. I do not want to touch this file. It is unique to every car. Is there a ready-made mechanism or codes for this? Please show me directions.
