auto incrementation of assembly

Expand Post »

hi all,
here i got strucked on auto incrementation of version using c# ,iam trying to do it programatically but i could able to change version number in variables but iam not able to write it back as it is read only.Is there any alternative for this?.

my code is as follows.

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
   string versionnum;
            int rev;
            int major;
            int minor;
            int build;
            Assembly assem = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            AssemblyName assemName = assem.GetName();
            applicationVersion = assemName.Version;
 
            major = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Major);
            minor = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Minor);
            build = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Build);
            rev = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Revision) + 1;
            versionnum = major+"."+minor+"." + build + "." + rev;
   string versionnum;
            int rev;
            int major;
            int minor;
            int build;
            Assembly assem = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            AssemblyName assemName = assem.GetName();
            applicationVersion = assemName.Version;
                                
            major = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Major);
            minor = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Minor);
            build = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Build);
            rev = Convert.ToInt32(applicationVersion.Revision) + 1;
            versionnum = major+"."+minor+"." + build + "." + rev;

Re: auto incrementation of assembly

You should be changing the version in the compile, not at runtime. Versions are read only at runtime.

Re: auto incrementation of assembly

think you got your revision number hardcoded probably if its not changing, take a look at your assemblyinfo.cs file

you can do this get revision to change automatically

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.1.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.1.*")]

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")]

Re: auto incrementation of assembly

that one changes revision btw

also check the same for

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

AssemblyFileVersion

you can look at it in
Project -> Properties ->Application -> Assembly Information

also if you really feel lazy you can use this add in
