Editing resource in managed c++ - Question 1

Hello,
Could someone please help me out?

How to add a version tab to an assembly's windows properties page for a
managed c++ project, without manaully creating a rc file and a user defined
rc2 file?

Thanks.

Hi Kaixin,

Thanks for you posting in the group!

add a version tab to an assembly's windows properties page

The version info on the version tab of an assembly's windows properties
page is just this assembly's9(the same as other format file).0 *file*
version. To add this version tab to on file's properties page, you have no
way but manually insert a Version resource.

For the Assembly's build version, you should specify it in the
AssemblyInfo.cpp.

However, you make the two version number an identical number.

Hi Kaixin,

The file version and assembly version are totally two deferent things.

To specify a file version without using a Version Info rc to a managed C++
assembly:
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")] //in the AssemblyInfo.cpp
file
