I created a set up project and assigned a version number at Version property as 1.0.0.
How to:
1) Auto increase version number once rebuild? For example, next rebuild will make version number as 1.0.1 and so on,
2) Display this version number in main.vb page?
I need to display the version number of the application on the top bar of the application. I managed to crate a setup wizard but I have no idea how to manage the verions.
View 6 RepliesWhenever I build my VB.Net project, the Assembly version does not automatically update as it is supposed to with the * in the third box in the Assembly Information. The only way I have found to (sometimes - it doesn't always work) get the version number to update is to Clean the Project, remove the *, Rebuild, reClean, put the * back in, and Rebuild again. What could be causing this issue to happen?
I should note that my coworker reports no such issue on his machine when Building the same Project; also, I must admit to some confusion on my part as to how this behavior is even possible, given that the error persists even if I remove every possible intermediate file I can think of that could possibly even be carrying the old version number, so how does it even know the old version number?
You can get the version of your application sing My.Application.Info.Version. Is it also possible to set this version using code? This because I have a webservice that connects to a database and retrieves a version number.My application then compares that version number with his one, if it's old.. then it will download new files and change his version number.

View 1 RepliesHow do I programmatically increment a given version's number to the next version of the highest one?
For example if I have a file Program.exe with the following version numbers :
Program.exe 1.0.0.0
Program.exe 1.0.0.4
Program.exe 1.1.0.76
Program.exe 1.0.0.66
The next version number in this case would be 1.1.0.77
What's the easiest way to implement that?
This is probably an easy question: I need to change my version number from 5.4 to 5.5. This is not the assembly version, but the version (I think) of my executable.
View 5 RepliesI have written a small program in VB 2010 Express and I would like to show the version number of my program on the form. I looked through the HELP files and found an example. I put the example in my code like this:'Get the version of the current application.

Dim assemName As AssemblyName = assem.GetName()
Dim ver As Version = assemName.Version

I am up to version 1.0.0.8 but this is what prints:

Why doesn't it print 1.0.0.8 ?

And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.
is the a program or a script that will allow people to click a button or something on a vb 2008 program and it will connect to a server and update it to latest version?
View 1 RepliesI have several programs written in VB2008 on a network shared drive. Multiple PC's which have access to this drive run the programs. The problem is when I want to upgrade the program or a file/picture with changes, either I cannot overwrite the .exe file because someone is running it, or for example, a background picture on an open form is loaded and then I cannot change the picture on the server. I thought of placing a timing loop in the programs to frequently check a file on the server, which when I need to make a change, I can fill with an appropriate trigger word (like "exit") that would have the program terminate and be unable to restart until I change the file to "OK", but this seems rather crude. I assume there's a better and more elegant method.

I have created a com dll in vb 2005 and used in vb6. It's working fine.

There is any equivalent feature in VB.Net? I am using VS 2005.

I am trying to run a nested loop; it should call a result from a MDB database. Which it does, when I run the single loop it goes thru all of the entries. But when I try to get a number to display twice it stops on the second entry. Having it display the number twice is just a test to make sure it does work, I am going to modify it after I can prove the loop works. The count on the Message Box is correct, but the number displayed is wrong?I want it to display each number twice and then move on to the next number. [code]
