Hi all,
maybe someone is interested in a plugin for Xide.
It manipulates AssemblyInfo.prg.
First part is change VersionAttibutes.
It increments the build number (third part of version) in all VersionAttibutes after every compile.
When I deploy my apps I always set the build number to divisible by 10 (zero at end, I call it release build no). So via menu item one can set the build number back to previous release build no or up to next release build no (due to fact that a new comile has to be done the number is set to 9 at the end). At export the current version is added to filename. Also the minor version (seconds part of version) can be incremented via menu.
Seconds part of the plugin is setting/changing the other AssemblyAttributes.
Backgound: I sell standard software to resellers. Some of the reseller have there own product name. So via menu item it is possible to change easily the attributes. I hope the sample is self explaining.
Attached a zip with the plugin (copy to PlugIns folder in XIDE folder) and a sample AssemblyInfo.prg
Any suggestions are wellcome.
Regards,
Stefan

Xide Plugin - AssemblyInfo manipulator (BuildCount)
Hi Stefan,
got it, works
Enhancement requests:
* increment only, if there was any change between compiles (useful)
* showing version info e.g. in XIDE's shell caption (sugar candy )
Thx

Is already on my list.Karl Faller wrote: * increment only, if there was any change between compiles (useful)
This may interfere with internal caption setting of Xide. But I will look into this.Karl Faller wrote: * showing version info e.g. in XIDE's shell caption (sugar candy )

Xide Plugin - AssemblyInfo manipulator (BuildCount)
Hi all,
I have a new version of XIDE_BuildCount ready:
- The version from AssemblyInfo.prg of current app/lib will be inserted in caption.
- If a native recource file AssemblyInfo.rc is available the VERSIONINFO will be changed like in AssemblyInfo.prg.
- Version will be change only if files have changed after last compile.
- In AssemblyInfo.prg one can add defines and resources for each reseller. These values are inserted in AssemblyInfo.rc when reseller is changed.
A sample of AssemblyInfo.prg and AssemblyInfo.rc is included in zip file (hopefully self explaining).
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
got it, copied over old dll.
Added a new AssemblyInfo.prg to a sample prog, containing only:
The not commented attributes get incremented as they should (i added one attribute after the other to provoke "change" -
But one strange thing: the commented lines with "1.2.279" increment as well - and this info is the one shown in Xides' caption...

Hi Karl,
quick and dirty. I do not parse complete content. I just search for [assembly: AssemblyVersion. With incrementing the same. Just check if line starts with searched value. So if you comment each line ('//') then it should work as expected.

Hi Stefan,
sorry, no.
First tried with all lines "//" - no change.
Renamed file and set it to "Text", made a new AssemblyInfo.prg:
// Application : arraybase
// AssemblyInfo.prg , Created : 17.04.2018 16:34
// User : Karl2
#using System.Reflection
#using System.Runtime.InteropServices
[assembly: AssemblyTitleAttribute( "Test für neue Version" )]
[assembly: AssemblyVersionAttribute( "0.1.5.0" )]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersionAttribute( "0.1.5.0" )]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute( "0.1.5.0" )]
//%LASTCOMPILE%17.04.2018 18:24:18Start1.prg
Increments, but Xide-Caption still increments to 1.2.281.0
Delete the old version of the file, now i see the 0.1.5.0 in the caption - but no more increment ;(

Hi Karl,
Comments with '//' should work now. '/*' still does not work.
Caption should also update from correct file.
Thank you for testing and feedback

Good morning, Stefan!
Got it, overwrote old files.
Made a new project, new app, new assemblyinfo.prg,
caption shows correct data - but somehow increment won't work now...
Plus: switching back to prior project, Xide throws this error: @Chris: BTW, could you make this dialog sizable? Scrolls are a PITA - and/or Errormessage copyable would be nice...
Regards
Karl

Hi Karl,
next try.
At the end of your last line 'Start1.prg' caused the problem.
Exception is now caught inside plugin.
