Re: Odd resonses from VB9

[Stephany Young]

It might help if you post the code you are using to get those results.

You're version is set to 2.1.*.*

The build number is the default *, which is "equal to the number of days since
January 1, 2000". Must have been done around March 7, 2008.

The revision number is "equal to the number of seconds since midnight, January
1, 2000, local time, divided by 2". Seems like it would be around 129081600, but
it is must be masked off to the lower 16 bits. IF you did a build around 11:30
pm, you might get a revision number of 40348.

The hex of 40348 is 9D9C. Taken as an unsigned 16 bit integer, that is 40348.
Taken as a signed 16 bit integer, it is -25188.

It is all very logical. ;-)

Try the Assembly Information button, in the Project Properties, Assembly tab.

Mike,

Any particular reason you request your posts to not be archived? Many
people search the archive in order to find answers and when posts are
removed it creates confusion.

Great, you've posted several items that would be helpful to people
searching the archives, and I would hate to see them disappear on
accident.

You can see the message I'm talking about here:

In Agent, right click on the folder for this newsgroup and click on
Folder Properties.

There is an Archive option under Posting Messages - Usenet Options.

I don't know if there is a global setting for this, I couldn't find
one.

Fixed. That was buried deep!

Thanks for the help. This one should not have the no archive set.

It sure is, glad to see that your posts won't be getting lost in
cyberspace anymore!
