What pre-engineering do you do to ensure data compatibility for future versions of your app?
I am doing some significant refactoring and feature-adding on a project, and have just broken backwards compatibility with my data. I did it by creating a bunch of subclasses from the class that I used to house my data in, and loading in old serialized objects no longer works.. What kind of pre-engineering or strategies do you employ to...
How do you know what version number to use?
Here's one I have always wondered about... Please excuse my naivety, but - How do you decide what version number to name your software? I assume, when somebody creates a "final" version of an application/program it is version 1.0? - Then, what happens when you update it, how do you decide to call it 1.1 or 1.03 etc etc. Is this mostl...

Matching version number parts with regular expressions
I'm trying to match the parts of a version number (Major.Minor.Build.Revision) with C# regular expressions. However, I'm pretty new to writing Regex and even using Expresso is proving to be a little difficult.

The assemblies could be called from the bin folder or from the GAC. There are some written by myself, but also third-...
Best Update Method for MySQL DB
I have read through the solutions to similar problems, but they all seem to involve scripts and extra tools. I'm hoping my problem simple enough to avoid that. So the user uploads a csv of next week's data. It gets inserted into the DB, no problem. BUT an hour later he gets feedback from everyone, and must make updates accordingly. H...
If I'm going to learn Python, should I learn 2.x or just jump into 3.0?
Maybe I'm old school, but when I sit down to really tackle a new language I like to buy whatever the definitive book is for that language rather than mess around with tutorials and online intro "toys" to the language.

Why can't I display the ASP.NET Framework version as 3.5?
Hello, Can someone please confirm to me that when my application is written in .NET 3.5 that this code System.Environment.Version.Major.ToString() will produce this 2.0.50727.1433 I'm just moving to 3.5 and the first application I'm moving is an internal website. I thought a really easy indicator that it's working would be to add...

I want to know, at run time, whether I'm running on 32 bit or 64 bit windows. The OSVERSIONINFOEX structure tells me the major and minor version, but I'm guessing I need the build numbers. Anyone know what they are? ...

If I have a python script that requires at least a particular version of python, what is the correct way to fail gracefully when an earlier version of python is used to launch the script?
