Assemblies A and B are privately deployed and strongly named. Assembly A contains references to Assembly B. There are two versions of Assembly B: B1 and B2. I want to be able to indicate for Assembly A that it may bind to either B1 or B2 -- ideally, by incorporating this information into the assembly itself. What are my options? I'm...
Hi, I have a version number of the following form: version.release.modification where version, release and modification are either a set of digits or the '*' wildcard character. Additionally, any of these numbers (and any preceding .) may be missing. So the following are valid and parse as: 1.23.456 = version 1, release 23, modifica...
I've spent far too much time trying to figure this out. This should be the simplest thing and everyone who distributes Java applications in jars must have to deal with it. I just want to know the proper way to add versioning to my Java app so that I can access the version information when I'm testing, e.g. debugging in Eclipse and runn...
Hi! I have C++ project (VS2005) which includes header file with version number in #define directive. Now I need to include exactly the same number in twin C# project. What is the best way to do it? I'm thinking about including this file as a resource, then parse it at a runtime with regex to recover version number, but maybe there's a b...
What free version control service would you recommend? I'm not looking for a complete project management service like Sourceforge, just something so I don't have to run a SVN/GIT server myself. ...
I am interested to know what strategies people have to keep their code AND work versioned across multiple machines. For example I have a desktop PC running XP, a macbook running OSX and VMWare running XP as well as a sales laptop for running product demos. I want to know how I can always have these in sync. Subversion is a possibility...
I have a simple business workflow with the following conditions Users need to change the workflow itself using a desinger The workflow is a long rinning workflow, so it will be serialized Is there a way to automate the task of versioning different workflow assemblies? ...
(Not related to versioning the database schema) Applications that interfaces with databases often have domain objects that are composed with data from many tables. Suppose the application were to support versioning, in the sense of CVS, for these domain objects. For some arbitry domain object, how would you design a database schema to ...
It seems like if you compile a Visual Studio solution and have a version # in your AssemblyInfo.cs file, that should propagate to say, the Windows Explorer properties dialog. This way, someone could simply right click on the *.exe and click 'properties' to see the version #. Is there a special setting in Visual Studio to make this happen...
Is it frowned upon to release your software with a version number high than 1? For example, some non tech-savy people might see a competitor's product with a higher version number as meaning my software is not as good. ...
I understand that Microsoft uses this template when versioning their products: Major.Minor.Build.Revision. Major is changed when the "developers" want to show that there is a big change in the software and backward compatibility cannot be assumed. Maybe a major rewrite of the code is done. Minor number represents a significant enhanc...
Notice in the bottom right hand corner of this page it has the SVN revision id? I'm assuming that's dynamic. I'd love to add that to some of my sites, just as a comment in the source to make sure code pushes are going through. NOTE: You can also assume that the working directory of the site in question is an svn checkout of the repo in...
Will .Net 4.0 use a new version of the CLR (v2.1, 3.0) or will it stick with the existing v2.0? Supplementary: Is it possibly going to keep with CLR v2.0 and add DLR v1.0? Update: Whilst this might look like a speculative question which cannot be answered, the VS team appear to be releasing more and more info on VS10 and .Net 4.0 so th...
I have a setup project for my C# program, and this setup project has a Version in its properties. I'd like for the MSI file that is generated to have this Version embedded in it, so I can mouse over it in explorer and see what version the file is. I'm using VS2008. How can I do this? ...
According to the answers to this question, I cannot embed a file version in my .msi file. The installer that I give the client needs to have a file version. So, what I want to do is create a self-extracting executable containing the msi file and the setup.exe generated by Visual Studio, and put the file version on this self-extractin...
I've been thinking about this problem for a while and have yet to come up with any stable/elegant ideas. I know with MyISAM tables, you can get the table def update time but thats not so true with InnoDB and I've found its not even reliable to look at the .frm file for an idea of when the definition might have been modified.... nevermin...
The AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion attributes are the built-in way of handling version numbers for .NET assemblies. While the framework provides the ability to have the least significant parts of a version number (build and revision, in Microsoft terms) automatically determined, I find the method for this pretty weak, and no dou...
How do you prepare your SQL deltas? do you manually save each schema-changing SQL to a delta folder, or do you have some kind of an automated diffing process? I am interested in conventions for versioning database schema along with the source code. Perhaps a pre-commit hook that diffs the schema? Also, what options for diffing deltas e...
I am currently working on a project with five other developers and we are using subversion for our revision control system. We have established that we have 12 milestones leading up to the first release of our software. We have labeled the milestones using version numbers (0.1 through 0.12) and descriptive labels. For example: 0.1 - Na...
Our situation is as follows, but I'm curious about this problem in any situation. We have a framework consisting of 4 projects: beans util framework web We also have modules that need a version and depend on a version of beans and util. Finally we have a customer project that consists of a specific version of the core projects and ...
