Product Code References

[Thom Little]

I really miss the EQU statement ...

I have a C# windows application with three dialog boxes (so there are four
separates modules). Two of these dialog boxes reference the Product Code
for looking up information about the current copy.

Every time a new version of the project is created the product code is
updated and must be manually set in two separate locations.

Is there a way to read the Product Code so it does not need to be manually
entered?

Is there a way to share one copy of a string that is the Product Code so
that it only needs to be changed in one location?

Hi Thom,

You can create a class and have a static constant variable "ProductCode"
which can be initialized to whatever value you want. This variable can be
accessed from all your forms.

check out the following information on Static keyword,

Hope this helps...
