How to access Add-In version?

Anonymous User — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:27:25 GMT

Is there a way to access the version of the Add-In (e.g. what is listed in the Config.daml) using the SDK?

For example, with the ArcObjects SDK, you could access the Add-In verison with My.ThisAddIn.Version

Is there a similar way I can access the version using the Pro SDK? I can access the assembly/dll version with the reflection namespace, but this is not linked in any way to the Add-In version from what I can tell.

Thanks

Hi Luke,

In the config.daml's <AddInInfo> tag, you can get the desktopVersion attribute and use it within your code as a string property.

To create something similar to what ArcObjects provided, you can do following -

Within your Module class, create a nested class to store your add-in's version like this:

internal class Module1 : Module

{

public static class MyAddin

{

public static string Version => "1.2.5023";

public static string Name => "ProAppModule1";

......

}

....

You can then access this class and the properties similar to ArcObjects. The example below is using the class with a button's click handler.

protected async override void OnClick()

{

string myVersion = Module1.MyAddin.Version; //do something with the version

......

Thanks!

Hi Uma,

Are you saying I have to hardcode my Add-In version in my module class? Isn't there any way the SDK can tell me the version of my Add-In without me having to manually store it and update it?

Thanks,

Luke

Hi Luke,

The version is hard coded already into the config.daml. It never changes for the lifetime of that add-in. Once you make your variable, you would not have to update it.

I am also looking a way to read the Add-In "Version" Configuration. (Not the desktopVersion) from SDK.

Thanks

Hi Sree,

You can take a look at this sample and see if it has what you need:

AddInInfoManager

It displays version information about add-ins - the 'Version' string is probably what you are looking for:

Hi Kaiser,

I think this will work. Probably I need to find all the add-ins and filter the version# based on my add-in guid.

- My intention is to read the current version of my add-in directly from Config.daml.

Thanks for the help!
