Anyway to tell when something was compiled?

UJ
Is there a way to tell when something was compiled? (I'm trying to find a
way to keep track of what 'version' the web site is and can't find anything
that only changes when it's recompiled.)

TIA - Jeff.

What version of .NET? If it's 2.0 I don't think there's any way to
tell when a website is recompiled. If it's not I think there's a way
but I'm not quite sure exactly how.

Jeff-

As far as I know, ASP.NET 2.0 (basis from there since there wasn't a specified
version) no longer 'compiles' like 1.1; the framework compiles everything
on the fly when it's requested by IIS and drops it in %systemroot\Mic rosoft.NET\Fram ework\{version} \Temporary
ASP.NET Files\.

I'd recommend something such as a Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
or SourceSafe for code versioning.

I've converted it to a web site project. Is there any way for me to tell
when the version has changed? If I have to, I'll end up looking at the
date/time on the .dll and keep track of that.

BTW - the reason for this is that I want to keep a revision history
automatically. At the moment I haven't put it in version control because the
product hasn't been delivered. Plus if I use VSS, can I get full revision
history reports that I can export to something else?

TIA - Jeff.

The time to begin using revision control is when you create the _first_
project related file. Only using revision control when delivering is
useless. But you have probably learned that the hard way already...

Don't know. The version of VSS that I had the dubious pleasure of using
about eight years ago had to have its database rebuilt about once a week. I
haven't found any reasons to look at VSS since.

The reporting in VSS 2005 isn't too shabby and can be dumped to a file or
your clipboard to be posted into a customer report. If you're using VS 2005,
you can use it's integration to add comments and such when you check in and
then report out those comments along with deltas in the code.

To Ebbe's point, not everyone is comfortable in using VSS due to past experiences,
but application aside, the concept of source and versioning control from
project start is invaluable.

To Mark's point re: the Web Application Project (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336618.aspx),
good point... I'd totally forgotten about that.
