I've got vb Express and want to increase the version of the build file automatically. I know it can auto change the publish-version, but i never publish files. I use the build option and get the application at: ...Visual Studio 2008ProjectsWindowsApplication1WindowsApplication1inRelease. So how can vb increase the revision or build number automatically?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an autoupdater for my application, and I came up with an idea to use the "After build" event to export the application version to txt file.Just a simple txt file with lets say "1.0.1" in it.
View 2 RepliesEverytime I increase the version on my application the settings seem to reset. Is there a way for the application to keep using the same settings file no matter how many times increase the version?
View 1 RepliesI saw lots of things online that look like you can't create a number that increments with every build automatically - rather you have to set it in AssemblyInfo.vb - is that really the case??
View 4 RepliesI have a multi line textbox (in a windows form in vb.net application) that displays values from an array. What I would like is to have the height of the textbox increase automatically so that all the rows are visible in the textbox without the need to scroll down. Also I would like to know how this will affect any controls directly below the textbox in question. ie if the textbox grows in size, will it push the items below it further down or will it overlap them?

View 3 RepliesEvery time I compile my app and the version number changes (I have an auto-incrementing build number), I lose the user-configured app.config settings, since they're stored in the AppData folder for a specific version. Essentially, every release of my application starts from scratch as far as user settings go.
While this is a mild annoyance in development, it raises the question as I approach deployment/release - if I use the app.config to store my user settings, will the user's personalized settings be hosed every time they install a patch that changes the version number of my app? If so, is there an easy way to "upgrade" the settings from the previous release? I know that using HKCU in the registry is another option, but I like the ease of the My.Settings namespace, and I'd like to stay with app.config.
How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
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.

View 2 RepliesDue to the July 13 end of life support for IE6 minus SP3, I am planning on checking the build version of the browser once logging in. I am able to return the browser major and minor versions but cannot find a way to get to the build/patch version which tells what SP the user has. I need to confirm the user is using an IE version higher than 6.00.2900.5512.
View 9 RepliesI would like to build a text string that is the build version of my program. In VB6 I would use the values retrieved from App.Version.Major/Minor. I have looked for something similar in VS2010 VB but unable to find it. I did find information on the .NET framework, but I am looking for a build version of my program.
View 3 RepliesWe're using team build with AssemblyInfoTask to increment the build number in a nightly build. The build number is displayed in the application using My.Application.Info.Version.Build.This has been working fine for years. But since we branched the sources and started using file references instead of project references (have no idea if that's what causes the problem), the last build number is displayed instead of the current one.
The compiled files (dll's and exe's) have the correct build number, if checked by right clicking the file in Explorer and viewing detailed properties. However when the same exe-file is executed, the UI displays the previous build number.If I edit the AssemblyInfo.vb file manually (just set another number, save the file, and set it back again), both file properties in Explorer and the UI at runtime displays the correct build number. How can this happen? What can be done to avoid this strange behavior?
Every time I compile a new release build in vb.net 2009, the file version number of my main exe is correct, but the assembly version number is the same as the last build instead of the current version even though I manually change the file and assembly version in the design studio to be the same prior to compiling.The only way I can get the assembly version to be correct is to close Visual Studio and delete the obj folder. Then if I open the solution and recompile, all is well.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a small application that will automatically visit a few websites. The list of the websites I want to be stored inside a txt file like:
website1.com
website2.com
website3.com
and when I press the "Start" button, my application will open the websites from the txt file, one by one with a delay of 10 or more seconds before loading the next website, in a webbrowser control.
I'm trying to code an 'increase' button to prompt a user to input a rate by which to increase select prices in an array.It should request the increased rate, then request a number from one to five, representing which price in the array to increase.Then, if 'increase' button is selected again and another number from one to five is chosen, then that element should be increased.It's working, but all the numbers in the array are changed. And, when I hit the increase button again, the array is repopulated below the first price increases instead of only replacing the designated price.
'declare 5 element array of prices
Dim prices() As Double = {12.2, 8.5, 12, 50, 2.4}
Dim rateIncrease As Decimal
Dim isConverted As Boolean

so how do i detect Assembly & File version numbers?
Is there a way to make the express version do a "clean build"?
Some of my project compilations have developed a problem which prevents debugging.
"The breakpoint that isn't working will display a message if highilighted with the mouse. The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."
The difference I've seen between the project folders for an app that will debug vs one that will not debug is that there is no ".pdb" file in the folder where the application to be debugged is running.Debug (F5) or "Build" no longer create this file.
Many of the discussion participants suggest deleting the "obj" and "bin" folders before compiling - on the assumption that this will "force" a "clean build" - is that supposed to be true? My express version has no "clean build" option, and deleting the obj and bin folders doesn't cuase them to be completely rebuilt.
Is "msbuild" the only way to force a complete build when you have the express version?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?
