Versioning Guidelines for Whidbey

Published 11 November 04 02:44 PM

Developers in the Bay area! Next week, John Rivard, a tech lead on the Visual Basic team, will be talking about best practices and gotchas when versioning .NET assemblies. Here's the talk abstract:

This presentation addresses the topic of versioning .NET assemblies. By introducing side-by-side assemblies and a side-by-side assembly store, .NET comes with new design and technical challenges for shared assemblies. These guidelines present existing methodologies and specific recommendations for versioning, servicing, and deploying shared assemblies.

  • Setting and incrementing the assembly and file version numbers
  • Patterns for creating side-by-side and non-side-by-side types
  • Global servicing vs. per-application servicing
  • Deploying shared assemblies to the GAC or to application directories

This is sure to be a good talk. To register, you can go to the Bay.NET user group site at: http://www.baynetug.org/DesktopDefault.aspx

Please attend, ask tough questions, give us tons of feedback, and enjoy!

This should be an MSDN webcast so that everyone can see it. Versioning is an important issue and one that anyone that wants to make money with .NET should know about.

That's a good idea. I spoke with John and he still wants to refine the presentation a little more before he commits it to video. Once this is full baked though, we'll definitely be broadcasting it widely.
