I have in my assemblyinfo.cs class the code: [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.*")] Calling System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString() works fine and gives the updated version, however, when i look at the generated dll in windows explorer, right click properti...
I'm working on an ASP.NET app that uses VSS for source control. WE have a PROD server and TEST server. As things get built, they're published to the TEST server for user testing. Once accepted, they're moved to the PROD server. I need to work on some new functionality in a sandbox without affecting the existing build in TEST. I don't wa...
Hi, I've encountered a project where we use staircase branching. To clarify, this is the approach where code is branched for development and when the development completes, rather than cutting back to a trunk/main line, the dev branch is designated as the live code set and a new branch is taken from it. This continues ad infinitum. I p...
I am currently developing a Web Site (not a Web Application) in VS2008. I have a problem however with the way that TFS2008 handles the DLLs in the BIN directory. I do not want them being checked into TFS - this prevents other developers on the team from building the website as TFS will only allow checking them out exclusively. I have ...
What recommendations do you have for a Subversion client that supports Microsofts standard SCC API? So far, I've found two possibilities: TortoiseSVN SCC. Seems neither mature, active nor supported (no release since Jan 2005) SVN Plugin from PushOK. Commercial, with pricing hidden behind a login page. Neither of these seem particula...
I was reading this post about "branch per feature" and this one too and found myself wondering how many people out there are using this concept? I am all for continuous integration and tagging each check in. And at the end of an iteration I create a special tag set to identify the sprints result. I have never needed to take it further...
At the company I work for we use subversion and TortoiseSVN to manage our source code. Each project is branched off the trunk. When we need to integrate the different projects for a release, we create a release branch that contains the code that will be integrated, tested, and deployed to production. Typically we only have one release br...
I know there is TortoiseCVS, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way of sucking down source code in a CVS repository, just using SVN tools (without having to install CVS tools). Since SVN seems to have taken the preferred spot in OSS, I have to believe somebody has written a tool that will map CVS databases to SVN repositories. EDIT ...
I have connected the Team Foundation Server to my SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and added my Stored Proc's to the new project to TFS. All my SP's are checked in and everything works fine. But I have a question. I have my project that shows in Solution Explorer and I have the Object Explorer that shows all the Databases and SP's on th...
What are the advantages and disadvantages of distributed revision control systems? If you have any experience with distributed systems like Git, Mercurial, Plastic SCM, etc. please share your experience. Tell us what worked well and where problems arose. I'm particularly interested to hear about the use of distributed systems in tradit...
Does anyone have experience collaborating with someone using a different version of Visual Studio? If I upgrade to VS 2008 or 2010, how hard will it be to work with someone using VS 2005? I realize that I'll have to target .NET 2.0 or whatever in the projects we will share, but I'm more interested in how to deal with project/solution f...
I am working on a project in a subversion repository with a strict check-in policy which includes: Every commit to the trunk has to be reviewed by another developer and this must be mentioned in the commit message. While working with git-svn I am making many incremental git check-ins that aren't reviewed. Their git commit messages refle...
Inspired by Git for beginners: The definitive practical guide. This is a compilation of information on using Mercurial for beginners for practical use. Beginner - a programmer who has touched source control without understanding it very well. Practical - covering situations that the majority of users often encounter - creating a repos...
I'm developing an program (game) with an as of yet unknown number of developers. I'm planning to use Visual Studio 2008 (VS2010 later) and either VB9 or C# as the language, obviously on a windows workstation. Which of the following sites would you recommend as my software host? (I'm assuming that some of my developers have never used a V...
Can Git be used the same as sourcesafe, Can I implement it directly into visual studio to check-in/out code and see history? Thanks guys. ...
Hello! I am trying to list data types from Microsoft Access 2000-2007 (depending on the MS Access database version) in a combobox for a C# program. I want my program to be capable of opening MS Access 2000-2007 databases. If I open a MS Access 2003 I wish my program to be capable of using the datatypes of any data specific to MS Access 2...
Hi, I have the remotes Foo and Bar. Foo is a web application that has lots of directories, relevent amongst them is /public which cointains assorted files and other directories. Bar is a set of libraries and whatnot used on the front end, as such, it should go in /public/bar in Foo. Foo has no files there. That would all be piece of c...
We have a number of legacy projects that were recently added to TFS version control. Now the issue that we have is that each of our projects contain copies of common code that has been modified and maintained separatly from each other. Is there a way to compare source from one solution in TFS to source in another solution on the same T...
After almost two years of using DVCS, it seems that one inherent "flaw" is accidental data loss: I have lost code which isn't pushed, and I know other people who have as well. I can see a few reasons for this: off-site data duplication (ie, "commits have to go to a remote host") is not built in, the repository lives in the same director...
I'm trying to use the built-in Subversion server on OS X per Apple's instruction I'm trying to use SVN through SSH and not apache It's not working out though. When I try to configure the repository, I get the following error: Error: 210002 (Network connection closed unexpectedly) Description: Connection closed unexpectedly As a sanit...
