[DUG] XE3 - Auto Increment Build Number - Disabled Release Number Text Box?

[Anthony Dowling]

Whilst ultimately that is the direction I would like to go in, time constraints at the moment don't allow me to get down and dirty with it.

With that in mind, it still doesn't resolve the issue I'm having, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if its working as designed.

Cheers

Hi Anthony

Auto incrementing build numbers are a bad idea.  We use final builder to get a consistent build of our projects each time and insert the subversion revision number as the build number.

A much better idea IMO as you can tie a specific executable back to your code base at a given time.
