C++ project versioning

Hi there,

We have multiple C++ projects some of which are managed and some are unmanaged. How does the build .NET solution action handle versioning for those projects? Is the action able to update the version for C++ automatically? We have an example of a managed C++ project that is not being versioned.

Thank you

See http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/vsnetversionstab.htm for details on how versioning of VS.NET projects is handled. If that doesn't help, please ZIP and send or post:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) The .bld file used to build
3) A build log file
4) The .sln file and project files (no source code files)

Problem versioning split resource files

We have some unmanaged C++ projects that aren't versioning properly. The reason for this appears to be the fact that the rc files for these projects are split into two. The first rc file has an include for rc2, and it's the rc2 file that actually has the versioning information. If these rc files are merged back into 1 rc file, then the versioning works as expected.

My question is this: how is VBP updating these rc files? In the previous release of our product, we were using VS2008 and VBP version 6. In that release, we still had the split rc files, but yet the versioning worked just fine. It was only after converting our VS2008 projects to VS2010, and upgrading to VBP version 7 that the versioning of our C++ DLLs with the split rc files stopped working.

I went back to VBP version 6, and the versioning still didn't work, so I'm thinking it's more something in the conversion to VS2010 that caused it to break.

Any thoughts?

To set/increment versions, the Make VS.NET/2005/2008/2010 actions parse the project file for resource files (*.rc*), and these files are searched for version info sections and updated if found. Please send the info requested here:
