Passing OS Version Number as a Dashboard Parameter

I'm trying to create a Dashboard parameter that has the OS Version number of the application. I would have thought that something like

Dim osVersion As String = OneStream.Shared.Common.GeneralStrings.OSVersion

would return the value, but this simply returns the string "OS Version". Can someone please point me to the correct function or member to get the application version number?

This should work:

 

dim version as String = Onestream.Shared.Common.XFVersionInfo.XFVersion

 

 

From the XFVersionInfo you can get a couple of other related version-information:

Not sure what you're doing exactly and it isn't what you asked but just thought I'd share as I can't see it documented anywhere. There are some preprocessor directives for 8.0 you can use if you want to make it easier to manage/compile version specific code:

  • ONESTREAM8_0_0
  • ONESTREAM8_0_0_OR_GREATER
 

 

#If ONESTREAM8_0_0_OR_GREATER Then
 ' do exciting new stuff
#Else
 ' do boring old stuff
#End If

Interesting. Where did you pick that up, and do you have other hidden gems that could be useful?

And btw, good coder humor with " ' do boring old stuff" 😁

I had to fly 20 hours from Sydney to Orlando for Wave to find out 😅

I actually didn't realise it was a 'hidden gem'. I was going to link to the documentation and when I went to find it there was nothing I could find! Its definitely frustrating finding out there is something you should/could have been using but just needed to get lucky and have someone who knows share the knowledge.
