Nick #2 / 5	Autoincrement revision number ? Quote: > Is it possible to auto increment the revision number like in VB6 ? I think that it does this automatically. I say this as I am developing something that has quite a long version number now even though I haven't changed it manually. I prefered the project properties in VB6. Nick.

Taiwo Ayedu #3 / 5	Autoincrement revision number ? You can do this via the AssemblyVersion attribute. See AssemblyInfo.vb in your .NET project. Note the following in the file: ' Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values: ' ' Major Version ' Minor Version ' Build Number ' Revision ' ' You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers ' by using the '' as shown below: <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.")> --- Taiwo Quote: > > Is it possible to auto increment the revision number like in VB6 ? > I think that it does this automatically.

Patrice Scrib #4 / 5	Autoincrement revision number ? When doing this it seems to me the default number never changes (ASP.NET, assemblyinfo.vb checked out). From where are taken the default numbers ? Does it change for your ? Patrice Quote: > You can do this via the AssemblyVersion attribute.

See AssemblyInfo.vb > in your .NET project. > ' You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and > Revision Numbers > ' by using the '' as shown below: > <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.")> Jeffrey Richter, in his book, "Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming", warns not to use the "1.0.*" syntax. He recommends that the build number be specifically set to a value. In regards to the automatic increment of the build number he states: <QUOTE> This feature is a bug and shouldn't be used because changing the assembly version number will break any assemblies that reference this assembly. The AssemblyInfo.cs file that Visual Studio .Net automatically creates for you when you create a new project is in error: it sets the AssemblyVersion attribute so that its major and minor parts are 1.0 and that the build and revision parts are automatically updated by the compiler. You should definitely modify this file and hard-code all four parts of the assembly version number. </QUOTE> His book talks about versioning information in detail.
