How to increment a version number programmatically?
c#, vb.net, visual-studio
Solution
Use a version control solution, like Subversion or git, and/or a build tool.
Certainly a version control solution will provide functionality to insert version information into the source code as it is committed via a magic string you include in your source like `$Rev$`, which you can then use as a build number.
Here's a blog post showing how it's done with Subversion.
Problem
How 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? Thanks for any help in advance
