I have a document management system where documents can have multiple versions. Each version is saved and users can view version history.
What I would like to know is: What datatype should I use for version numbers? Decimal, Float or Double? I'm using .NET and C#.
Version numbers start at 0.1 and each published major version will be rounded to the next whole number. i.e. 0.4 goes to 1.0 and 1.3 goes to 2.0 etc.
When a version numbers hits 0.9 and a minor version is added I would like the number to go to 0.10 not 1.0, when I add to it. This is the biggest issue.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
