Confusing myself with Code

[MadCrazyNewbie]

Hi All

Wonder if somebody could help me, not really in a VB sense more of a stop
confused myself sort of thing.

On my project I find that im flicking from bit to bit then forgetting what I
started. Also every day I backup my Project folder with that date, is there
a way Visual Studio can automatically save me a Backup?

Also for my Version numbers on My Title bar how do I automatically get it to
change on every build I do?

Going on the Planning, does anybody know of any links for Software Design
and Test sheet templates? Or Even Software?I remember there been a Task List
somewhere, any ideas where it is?

On My forms as I have Tab Pages on say my Comm's Form, I have 5 Tabs, the
code gets very messy, and long winded, what's the easiest way to split this
up so it manageable and easy to read?

Many Thanks For you help
Regards
MCN

Take a look at Vault. They have free single-user version.

You can use a versioning/code management system, for example Visual
SourceSafe or subversion:

Also for my Version numbers on My Title bar how do I automatically get it to
change on every build I do?

From my FAQ (<URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/>):

Basic information on versioning:

Managing Versions of an Application
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/managevers.asp>

Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ch5.asp>

..NET Framework Tutorials -- Versioning Components
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cptutorials/html/versioning_components.asp>

Parts of the version number:

Main version
"Product" version.

Sub version
Sub version, for example Service Pack.

Build
During development, auto-increment.

Revision
Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).

When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.

The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.vb". The
version number will updated automatically when re-opening the solution.
