We have a framework created in .NET which controls hardware devices. The entire framework uses MEF so it relies heavily on interfaces. For reasons beyond our control we had to change the hardware and that required some breaking changes to some of the interfaces. The project for the old hardware was put on hold for a while and we starte...
I use VSTO Excel template based solutions frequently. One of the things I like about this project type is that I can use cached data sets in the Excel template or worksheet to handle application state that persists after the user saves the file. However, cached data sets create a problem: the schema of the document is bound to the appl...
I want to include an updated SQLite database with a new version of an app. My app copies the database file into the Documents directory on startup. What is the best way to do this kind of versioning (besides using Core Data)? I'm assuming that either a special 'version' table in the SQLite file or a small text file with the version numb...
I need some experiences concerning the writing of software documentations and user guides. When I write formal documents like software specifications, every document gets a version number and in the document there is a change history after the table of contents, where you can keep track of the changes made to the document. If I'm now w...
I need Team Build to provide version numbers while performing an incremental build. I need this for both .csproj and .vcproj files. How do I do this? Evidently Jeff Atwood provided the solution for .csproj projects at a link that no longer works: blogs.vertigosoftware.com//teamsystem/archive/2006/07/06/Adding_the_Build_Number_to_your...
Setting the scene: My asp.net web application carries a version number which is incremented during every release. We're releasing every week internally for our test team and after four weeks or so to our client. The question: I want to include the version number on our application. What methods have you used so that your web app carries...
I understand that interfaces are contracts and any changes (even additions) break any dependent code. However, I could have sworn I read something a while back that one of the recent .NET versions (3, 3.5??) added a new attribute that could be applied to new interface members. This attribute allowed versioning and/or making members opt...
Is there an efficient way to version store procedures written in PL/SQL? (I only mention PL/SQL because there may exist a particular tool, any answer directed to versioning of stored procedures is ideal). ...
I have a challenge similar to creating-my-own-plug-ins-for-my-own-project-in-c# and late-loading-a-net-plugin-dll, with the added headache of being able to specify a version to use. My current idea is to simply use console apps, with folders named by version. I'd then find the folder and load the console app by known name, using Process....

I'm having problems understanding java versioning. I'm seeing lots of versions like 1.4.2, 1.5 and 1.6, but I also stumble upon 5.0 and 6.0. I don't understand this versioning or the progression. I'm pretty new to java, and I've read a bit about openjdk vs sun and I think i understand it. Are these versions the difference between ope...
Let's say I have a Type II SCD database, that is basically append only. I am using NHibernate to persist objects to my database. I have an object like so: Pony |- int Id |- Guid EntityId |- string PonyName |- string PonyColor |- int RevisionValidFrom |- int RevisionValidTo Here's a typical scenario: Pony myLittlePony = myStable.GetL...

Can anyone tell me what kind of information to save along with the version number in that sheet for different types of software?

Hi all Is it possible to manually add and modify the versions of a document using the object model? As example I want to be able to get the SPListItemVersion object of a document and modify its properties. It seems to me that all properties are read-only, so it is not possible to modify anything. Is there any workaround for this avail...
I was wondering if programming languages and frameworks get updated in small increments or are they just x.0 releases? And if they do how do you keep up on all the changes in every update? I am specifically interested in Objective-C and Cocoa and CocoaTouch. I'm learning from books and online PDF's etc, but often they are at best a few ...
