Assembly Version Question

Look in the AssemblyInfo.vb file, and notice that the version is 1.0.*.  If you want to control the version, then remove the asterisk, and just use 1.0, 1.1, etc.

Thanks Bob,
I do understatnd that part and I have done that.
What I want to do is the build version.
I can not get it to work the way I like.
I don't like the 4 digit version it uses, I'd rather have a 2 digit version that I am trying to parse, but with no look.

Are you looking for something like this:

Imports System.Reflection.Assembly

Public Class App

  Public Shared Function MajorVersion() As String

    Return GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.Major

  End Function


  Public Shared Function MinorVersion() As String

    Return GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.Minor

  End Function


  Public Shared Function BuildNumber() As String

    Return GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.Build

  End Function


  Public Shared Function Revision() As String

    Return GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.Revision

  End Function


  Public Shared Function ProductVersion() As String

    Return App.MajorVersion & "." & App.MinorVersion & "." & _
           App.Revision() & "." & App.BuildNumber()

  End Function

End Class

Hi Bob,
That is basically what I wnat and what I have done also.
However, I may have not asked my question properly.
I would like my about box to state :

Version 1.0 Build 17

and then after new build:

Version 1.0 Build 18

But, in the App.BuilderNumber() of your code and mine, it is 4 digits.
I tried to parse it for the first 2 digits, but the digits remained the same while the last 2 were changing.
I realize it will change eventually, but I need a way to do it as listed above.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Ak

Show me this line from your AssemblyInfo.vb:

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")>

Bob

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.*")>

Change it to:

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.0.0")>

Then, tell me what the BuildNumber returns.

Bob

It returns 0

And if you change it to Assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.1.0.17")>, you would get v2.1 Build 17.

This is what you need:

Public Shared Function ProductVersion() As String

    Return App.MajorVersion & "." & App.MinorVersion & " " & _
           "Build " & App.BuildNumber()

  End Function

This is good Bob,
But how can this automate the last digit?
It doesn't appear to update when I build when it is this way?
Thanks,
Ak

You are in control of it now, there isn't anything (that I know of) to automatically increment this once you remove the asterisk.
