Version info in module code? Thread last updated on 2003-06-28 10:45:39

A question about coding modules:

How do I add version information to a module I'm coding, so that it shows what version it is on the DLL file in Explorer? I know LSXCommand does it, but haven't quite found how to do it.

Add a version resource.

If using MSVC: Select "Resource..." from the "Tools" menu, then choose "Version". (sorry if that's obvious, ya never know :)

Have you gotten LM_GETREVID as well?

Ah! Yes, now that you mention it it seems obvious, but indeed, ya never know. I didn't. Thanks.

I did do the LM_GETREVID.

I may be new at this, but I'm learning very fast! Expect to see some interesting things from me in the future :-)

Another question: I'm currently using MSVS6 and am wondering whether moving to .NET would cause problems or issues with compiling Litestep modules. A friend of mine had difficulties and couldn't run his compiled modules without making sure MSVCP70.DLL was also there, or something. Any tips?

Compiling with MSVC++ 6.0, we already use MSVCP60.DLL, so that seems rather logical. :P

Ah, right.
I'm just curious whether I'd have to require OTHER people to install MSVCP70 in order to use my modules. Would that be a bad thing?

Hey, jesus_mjjg, I remember a while ago you said were working on a module coding tutorial (or something) for school. Did that turn out? I'd be quite interested to see it if you've got something...

Backslah: in my opinion, MSVCP70.DLL will be required by the end user, as is MSVCP60.DLL.
As for the coding tutorial, I delayed it to september ... I'll try to keep you posted.

thanks for the help, and good luck with the tutorial! Looking forward to it!
