How to access the current Subversion build number?

Question

How can you automatically import the latest build/revision number in subversion?

The goal would be to have that number visible on your webpage footer like SO does.

Answer 1

Using c# and SharpSvn (from http://sharpsvn.net) the code would be:

//using SharpSvn;
long revision = -1;
using(SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
  client.Info(path,
    delegate(object sender, SvnInfoEventArgs e)
    {
       revision = e.Revision;
    });
}
