Hi everyone,

Hopefully someone can help me on this.

I've been trying to find out how to change my naming on my executable
program when I have updated the application ie: myApp.exe1.0 to
myApp.exe1.1.

I am making my project with C# in a window environment. How can this be
achieved and is there various ways of doing this?

Thank you all in advance.

MikeY,

I am curious, why would you want to do this? If anything, because of
the way assemblies are loaded in .NET, why not just create a separate
directory for your new exectuable version. This is one of the big reasons
for side-by-side execution.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for the response. First I noticed I made an error in my post. It
meant to read as myApp1.0.exe to myApp 1.1.exe.

The reason I wanted to have the naming convention to change, is so that I
have a copy of previous versions in my archives for review purposes, etc.
Maybe I'm thinking or going about this all the wrong way.

Mike,

I think that you should separate out versions by directory. I don't
know how much else there is in your application, but if you have supporting
libraries and whatnot, then you will have to apply the version naming
policies to those as well, and that can get unruly.

I'd recommend a separate directory for each version, and leaving the
names alone.
