Hello,

 

Using Plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 1.1.0.53

Using push messages from server to the MDS application.

 

Inside the server code(C#), which has been generated by adding a BlackBerry reference to the MDS application, is it possible to omit the MDS application version (PushProcessor.Version) to which the message will be pushed ? Meaning it doesn't mather what version the application is.

 

I don't want to update the server code every time the MDS application version changes.

 

Thanks,

Guillaume.

 

 

 

 

The MDS-IS is looking for "compatible" versions that match the one you provided.  So first a quick reference on what the version number means in an MDS Runtime application.

 

It is not Major.Minor.Revision 

 

It is actually Data.Message.Functionality

 

So the first number is "Data" that means that the definitions you have created for classes & Collections have or have not changed.

 

The "Message" number means that your web services have or have not changed

 

And the "Functionality" number means that your screens/Javascript have or have not changed

 

So if you did a push for 4.6.4 of your application, then all 4.6.x applications would be compatible because their Data and Message structure has not changed

Thank you dim.

 

However, I'm still not sure I understand everything, as your explanation does not fit with the result of my tests.

 

Let say my MDS application version is 1.10.0.

In my server code which does the push, I have tried setting the Version to:

- empty

- 1.11.0

- 2.11.0

- 2.11.1

And all the time it receives the push message.

 

Take note that I specify the PIN to which send the message using the Recipients.Add(pin) method.

Does the version is discarded when using specific PINs ?
