I have been looking for an article explaining the Standards of using version control. I understand the point of Major builds but when should a Minor build be incrementeted and what is the difference between a build and a revision.

Sorry if this seems simple but I am mostly self taught starting with Access and just recently switching to .net and I am trying to start good habits from the begining.

Thank you for the Help

Since this isn't specific to .NET, I'm moving this to the "Software Development" forum.

There is no set standard for version control. There is a popular nomenclature that companies use that they take from Microsoft. Basically you should increment the minor version number any time you want to make a new supported release. And you increment a major version any time the has been feature changes to your application.

For a good synopsis of versioning you can check out mozilla's projects like firefox and read the changelogs. You can see what their reasons were behind the version numbers.
