Application::ProductVersion usage

[Mike E]

How is this set in visual c++. I assumed it was in the AssemblyInfo.cp p
file, but the changes are never picked up and
Application::Pr oductVersion keeps coming back empty.

Help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, Application::Pr oductVersion never returns the correct
information (or rather, any information at all) for an MC++ application.
It's the same case as what I describe in detail here:

the good news is that this is fixed in VS2005.

So how do you set all the version stuff, the old MFC way with
version_info?

Not necessarily. You can *still* use the information encoded in the assembly
attributes if you want, you just have to dig it out yourself using
System::Reflect ion; the corresponding properties in the Application class
are just "shortcuts" to that info.

I was talking about the right click, properties, version tab stuff.

Thanks,

Ahh, that, sorry :)

Yes, you get those by using the usual unmanaged VERSION resource on the
exe/dll.
