I am using Git for source control on a .NET project. Is there any way to include the current Git revision number in my EXE upon compile time?
I'd like to be able to have the revision number available for an "About" dialog, or similar. Perhaps there is a way to update Settings.vb right before build?
I just want to know if the following behavior is by design. I start Visual Studio and open my VB project and rebuild it. The assembly version is set to 1.0.*. I get a version number of 1.0.2839.26817. Now as long as I keep visual studio open every time I rebuild, I get the same build and revision number. I have to close and reopen visual studio to get the revision number to change. Again I just want to know if this is by design since everything I have read says that the revision number is either supposed to be random or the number of seconds since midnight. Is there a way around this?

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.net 2005 project MyProject.exe which is referring to a strong named dll ReferenceDll1.dll in its references. The ReferenceDll1.dll is referred as Specific Version=False. The version on the strong named reference ReferenceDll1.dll was 1.0.1.2 when I compiled my project. Few days later, I got updated ReferenceDll1.dll as 1.0.1.3. Replacing this dll in the install directory fires following exception.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to include a few text files in my project. These files are read and used to make decisions in the program. Ordinarily, I would just set the file path and open the file via StreamReader, no problem. However, this application now needs to work on other computers and I want to include the text files in the application directory. I've researched two ways to do this:
1) Include the files as resources and reference them via my.resources.
I've gotten this to work ok, except the files are opened as strings upon starting the application. They are fairly large files, which I imagine is taking a lot of unnecessary memory. Also, StreamReader wont work with these files as resources,
or at least I can't figure out how to. My application is already based around using StreamReader so I don't really want to change this.
2) Include the files as additional items. I know how to do this too, but I can't reference the files programmatically.
Can I use a resource text file via StreamReader or how would I reference the files if they're included in my project directory?
