____________ Andy Smith Chief Code Monkey -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Eric V. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 2:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [nant-dev] Version task Jeff Richter in "Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming" argues against using the asterisk. I'm not sure I buy his argument, but I respect his opinion. In addition, I like having a deterministic nightly build number, or more often if I build releases multiple times per day. Accordingly, I like having more control over the entire version number. My code supports asterisks, in any event. So you could have a task that increments the minor version number from 1.2.* to 1.3.* as such: <version increment="minor" property="project.version" filename="AssemblyInfo.cs"/> > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 4:11 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [nant-dev] Version task > > > I don't understand why you need to write out the version > number again... > > the whole asterix thing in the version number is designed to > auto-increment the version. does this behavior only exist in c#??? > > ____________ > Andy Smith > Chief Code Monkey > > -----Original Message----- > From: Smith, Eric V.
