Assembly Versioning
-
I have a project that started out in VS2003. The last build in 2003 was 2.0.20727.42. I had the AssemblyVersion value in AssemblyInfo.cs set to 2.0.*.*. Things worked as I expected. Now in 2005 I identified the new AssemblyVersion to 3.0.*.*. If I use
Environment.Version, I keep getting the version from 2003 (2.0.20727.42) and it is never changing. If I set AssemblyFile, then I can see that value inApplication.ProductVersionbut a) This is a string I'd have to break down to get the versionning if I was to use it. b) It doesn't auto-increment. When I did the upgrade from 2003, I created a new project in 2005 and then I used "Add Existing..." to add the forms and User Controls. Did something else get sucked in that is not allowing me to get the correctEnvironment.Version? -

In fact, I have no version info. 1. Make sure to have the 2003 file set in a different folder than where the 2005 set will be. 2. Create a new project. 3. Add all the existing files (if .resx files having the same name exist, they will be imported automatically). 4. Click "Project" and select the project name (on the 2005 menu) 5. Click "Assembly Information..." (in the Application tab section) 6. Setup your new version info Worked for me. Hope it works for you.
