Hi,

We're looking to apply a system-wide version number across many dlls. We'd
really like to do the build and then apply an attribute containing the
version number. Is there any way of doing that ? We don't really care how
it's done as long as it's something that stays with the file, and can be
read back, even if we have to write a special app to read it.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Thanks,

Adam.

I believe there is a win32 api call to update/modify version
information. I don't recall what it is but if you create version blocks
in all your modules, this would help.

Thanks for responses, Steve, and Pavel.

I'll have a look at StampVer. We may run into difficulties with it if we
start signing our assemblies, but I'll check it out.

Cheers,

Adam.
