Increment Version ID

I want to be able to give the customer a visual representation of a product
ID number for ever time the program compiles. Currently we save each
instance and have to reply on a very long global ID to communicate
versioning between our developers and clients. What is the best method to
increment the version ID to be viewable by the client? Thanks In advanced.

Add About form (available in New templates) and display the version
information there - this is the usual place for it

I was thinking how more to make a new ID number or version number, every
time the program complies. Like version 1.01...1.02...e ct

Hi there! I'm working on a medium-sized .NET web application written in c#. We are using Visual Studio 2003 for development and Visual Source Safe as our code repository. Occasionally, we do a build and a deployment to our production server using a batch script which extracts the latest version of our code from VSS, compiles it and copies it onto the production server. All that is good and well, but I would like to add a small feature to...

Hi! In VB6 I could set an option, so that when the app was built, the version number (minor) would autoincrement. It was also possible to access version information via code to display in a splash-screen or similar. I have searched for this option in Visual Studio, but have yet to find it. And how can I access this information via code, if possible? Thanks in advance!

In VB6 there is Auto Increment check box in Project Properties, which allow you have a new version every time you compile the project. Is there any easy way to have this feature in VB 2005? Some of my blocks of code check and compare versions of EXE and DLLs located on the local workstation and the server. So it's very important for me to have an incremented number in case the project was rebuilt. It can be done manually, of course, but I...

I seem to be having an issue with version incrementation. When building my app, it will not consistently increment the version number. I currently have the attribute set at "1.2.*" and the default versioning behavior would be fine if only it would increment every time I build the project. Is there a minimum number of lines of code that must change for a build to increment it's version? I understood that the default build and version...

I cannot seem to get the version number of my VB app to increment properly in VS2005. When I build the app each day the "build" number increments with no problem as does the version number but if I make multiple changes to my code during the day and then build again that same day the version number will not change. I have the attribute set to "1.0.*" and the default .NET formula of versioning is fine if only it would update whenever I make...

Hello: In C++, you had to distinguish between post and pre increments when overloading. Could someone give me a short demonstration of how to write these? I get the impression that are handled with the same overload, but I just want to make sure.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
