Property Value

A Version object specifying the application definition version.

Remarks

The ApplicationDefinitionFileVersion property is optional.

Use the ApplicationDefinitionFileVersion property if you want to specify which version of Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services the application definition conforms to or to track the instance configuration version using your own version numbers.

When you first create the application, if you do not specify a version number, Notification Services enters version 0.0.0.0 in the application database. For subsequent updates, Notification Services uses the most recent version number, which it obtains from the database.

When you update the application, Notification Services always enters the version number into the database regardless of any other changes in the application definition. The new version number must be equal to or greater than the previous version number.

Example

The following examples show how to define the version of the application:

myApplication.ApplicationDefinitionFileVersion = 
    new Version(1, 0, 0, 0);

myApplication.ApplicationDefinitionFileVersion = _
    New Version(1, 0, 0, 0)
