Re: Version Incrementation

Just an FYI.  It's not a straight increment (like VB used to be).  From
the MSDN docs on AssemblyVersionAttribute Constructor:

<quote>
The format of the version string is: major. minor. build. revision.

When specifying a version, you have to at least specify major. If you
specify major and minor, you can specify an asterisk (*) for build. This
will cause build to be equal to the number of days since January 1, 2000
local time, and for revision to be equal to the number of seconds since
midnight local time, divided by 2.

If you specify major, minor, and build, you can specify an asterisk for
revision. This will cause revision to be equal to the number of seconds
since midnight local time, divided by 2.

Subject: Re: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Version Incrementation


This is contained in your AssemblyInfo.cs or AssemblyInfo.VB file:

// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four
values:
//
//      Major Version
//      Minor Version
//      Build Number
//      Revision
//
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

Place an * in BuildNumber or Revision to have them automatically
incremented. I believe with VB there's an option on the project
properties page to do this automatically. On Jan 23, 2008 1:37 PM, Steve
