Custom Device XML Version Tag: Does it work?

[10Things_Rob]

It's (supposed to be) pretty simple...

My Custom Device XML contains

<Version>1.1.10</Version>

my ActionVIOnLoad reads the Version and (for debugging purposes) feeds it to a dialog box.

The dialog box reads "1.0.0"

I have...

• Deleted the custom device, rebuilt it, manually confirmed that the XML file is in the correct location with the correct content
• Verified that the new version of the custom device is being called (by changing the BG color of my pages)
• Deleted the instance of the custom device from my test project and re-added it
• Verified that I am not calling the Set Version anywhere in my code

I am stumped. This is not supposed to be hard.

Suggestions? Can someone prove to me that this XML tag actually works?

Thanks in advance, Rob

NOTE: Version 15 SP1

Have you restarted NI VeriStand between your attempts? The Custom Device XML is loaded only once during the NIVS load

OK, so I figured it out...

During my build process, I have a VI that updates the Version Number in the XML file. That VI was not closing the file. Once I put the close file in, then things started working.

Good suggestion, yes I was doing that too.
