Class Version

Version reflects how SDS2 is versioned internally. These version numbers are not like assembly version numbers or semantic version numbers, are only loosely correlated with marketing versions, but reflect existing internal practice at SDS2.

Syntax

public class Version

Remarks

Version numbers are important to understand (A) capabilities of SDS2 and the C# interface and (B) compatible project data versions.

Generally, over time, Program and Data version numbers of SDS2 increase.

Generally, when a new marketing version number is seen, the most significant "minor" digit is incremented, overflowing to the "major" digit.

Generally, Program version is equal to or greater than Data version.

Projects with data versions equal to Version.DataVersion can be accessed freely, while projects with older data versions can be irrevocably converted to the current data version.

Properties

DataVersion

The data version written by the loaded SDS2 DLL.
