get package version via sdk

[vrishal]

Hi,
   I'm trying to get the version of a specific package via the sdk. The following is what I'm trying to achieve.

1. Check current package version that is deployed
2. Check version of new package in the deployment folder
3. If 2 is newer than 1 then deploy 2 using SDK.

Any help in how to find out the package information (and any of the meta-information about the package) will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello,

the package version don't differ by numbers. They have timestamps within their searchpaths. So you have to compare the timestamps.

hope this helps,

Hi

History versions ot a package have a timestamp in the searchpath but not the current one.
I would try to get the version from the model itself. If you have a suitable value in the model.xml, which is 1:1 in the contentstore, you can use this one. This is just a little xml parsing to make your decision.

Hi,
   Thanks for the reply guys. Although this is an inefficient way for me, I guess there is no other way.

Thanks once again.
