Environment.version

[sthomas]

In my VB6 days I would create a label and everytime I would build a new executable I would change the version manually.

I understand you can change the AssemblyInfo.vb class
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>
to change the version.

However, when I change the version like so
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.4.0")>
Rebuild my project and then call

Environment.Version.tostring It does not reflect the change

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and If I am calling it properly?

Do I still have to change the AssemblyVersion everytime a want my build to change?

That's Application.ProductVersion.

Thank You. That does indeed give me the value in the Assembly.

Question. Will this value ever change if I do not change it. i.e. There really is no difference between creating a label and changing the label text or changing the value in the Assembly. You still have to manually change it?

I thought I heard somewhere that .Net will keep track of your version???

That minor version numbers change automatically if you have chosen Enebale Incremental Build, in Configuration Properties of your project properties (I am not 100% sure if this is the case). However i dont know how it changes, once used that and sometimes it didn't changed and sometimes changed a lot. There was a thread about this in the past that you may like to read.
