Getting the subversion repository number into code

Question

I\'d like to implement a way of recording the version of a project within code, so that it can be used when testing and to help track bugs. It seems the best version number

Answer 1

You can also use SubWCRev which is part of TortoiseSVN.

SubWCRev is Windows console program which can be used to read the status of a Subversion working copy and optionally perform keyword substitution in a template file. This is often used as part of the build process as a means of incorporating working copy information into the object you are building. Typically it might be used to include the revision number in an “About” box.
