BuildCount Add-In

For example, if your project is on build 6, the contents of the file look like this:

// 6
#ifndef AUTOBUILDCOUNT_H
#define AUTOBUILDCOUNT_H
#define BUILDCOUNT_NUM 6
#define BUILDCOUNT_STR "6"
#endif

At the next build, the content will be updated to:

// 7
#ifndef AUTOBUILDCOUNT_H
#define AUTOBUILDCOUNT_H
#define BUILDCOUNT_NUM 7
#define BUILDCOUNT_STR "7"
#endif

You can use the macros BUILDCOUNT_NUM and/or BUILDCOUNT_STR in the code to refer to the automatically generated build number. For example, to use the build number in your about box, you could use the macro as follows:

#include "AutoBuildCount.h"

//...

CAboutDlg::CAboutDlg()
{
    m_strBuild.Format(_T("Build %d"), BFCBUILDCOUNT_NUM);
}
