DLL Version

[gilles]

What is the rule for the dll's version.

I have a Dll with different version, and i don't know whitch is de most recent.

e.g : Can you help me to sort this versions
4.0.1381.178
4.0.1381.300
4.0.1381.3
4.0.1381.4
4.0.1381.133

Thank you

Usually highest number wins.

-Current build number (eg. VB6 runtime dll starts with 6)
-Major version number
-Minor version number
-other

It depends on the developers and the release policy they use, how they increment each build number to the next one.

So, in your example, the developer could easily say that 4.0.1381.4 is a higher version than 4.0.1381.300 if they wish to further subdefine their builds.
