Hi,

What is the usage of PropertySet? Is it to overcome the need of using INI to do version number increment?

Thank you

Hi Chan,   
  
If you're not using property sets, you commonly need to use a different variable for each number in the version string. A PropertySet is a way of "rolling up" all of these version numbers into a single object. You can store them in an INI File, or in the project's FBD data file.   
  
PropertySets are easy to apply to actions which take version control, because you just check the box to assign it to all of the version numbers in the project you're building.   
  
For more information, see the "Property Sets" topic in the FB Help.
