Versioning
- Thread starter Pyramus
- Start date
Adding a resource is the standard MS way but you have to remember to update it whenever you do a new release.
I'm using RCS with a version string in each code file. One method that I used to use was to add up all the sub-version numbers together. For example, if there are 5 files at versions 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, the release number would be 1.000. If one file changed to 1.2 and another to 1.1, then the release number would be 1.003. It gets a bit more complex when it comes to 1.10 and 1.3. This becomes 1.013: not 1.4. I allow for up to 3 digits.
You may be able to do something similar with the MS Source Code Control system. I've never used it so I can't really say.
