Versioning Guidelines for Whidbey
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!
