Version Number Generator

This  Add-in for Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 C/C++ Win32 projects can automatically control the build number of an executable or dll file.

After instalation of this Add-in just run the Visual Studio and create the new project C++ 'Win32 Project' or open any existing one. In the Add-in Manager of the Tools menu check this Add-in to turn it on. On the context menu of solution, project or selected projects of the Solution Explorer click on the 'Add Version Information...' menu item. This will add to your project a special file - VersionInfo.h.

In the 'VersionInfo.h' file you can set your configuration for building the version number. There is also the description how you can do this.

When you start the build process, all resource files such as .rc and .rc2 files which contain VERSIONINFO blok will be found and automatically updated.

It doesn't matter for how many platforms the project has been prepared. If you use the 'Batch Build...' option on the solution context menu the process of building a version number will be run only once.

To correctly recognize the Release mode the configuration name in the Configuration Manager should contain the Release word. It's the same with the debug mode.

The Add-in is available in Chinese (Simplified), English and Polish localization. If you would like to contribute a translation, please visit my website by cliking 'GetNow' button and translate the Resource file that you can find in the Translation section.

Now the Add-in works in international versions of Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010.
