Simon,
Ok...Um...I am doing something a little different than what other
programmers are doing. I am guessing you get questions regarding the
resource (rc) file in a C++ project and how to change the strings in this
file before a final build is done so the resulting executable contains the
proper strings. I understand this, but my situation is a little just
slightly different.
I need to change the version number and add in "Other Version
Information" on these exe's and dll's (This is located on the Version tab
can be found in the properties of the executable). The reason being is
that I would like to look at the version number to find out what
repository version number this executable is without actually running it.
This is possible with a little manipulation of the following project...
http://www.codeproject.com/library/VerInfoLib.asp
I figured out a solution to my own problem. In Microsoft Visual
Studios there is a post-build option which allows my to run scripts and
executables after building an exe or dll. Therefore I just hooked my
program that changing the version number into the post-build and manually
retrieve the version number out of the .svn\entries file to write my new
version number on my exe or dll.
Thanks
Chris
