As the title states is there a way to get the current version count through a workflow activity or sdk method? I am currently trying to have working create a new version of a document though in order to make a new version I need to get the current version count and add 1 to it.

In order to create a new version, do this:

doc.Lock(LockType.Exclusive);
doc.CheckOut();

// make your changes to the document here

doc.Comment = "your version comment";
doc.Save();
doc.CheckIn();
doc.Unlock();

Hi Cristobal,

You could use the additional properties in the find entry activity to select, "Latest Version Number".

Cheers,

Carl

I'm not sure why you would need the version count to create a new version, but to get the version count with the SDK you would get the DocumentInfo for the document and do this:

if (doc.IsUnderVersionControl)
{
    VersionHistory verHist = doc.GetVersionHistory();
    DocumentVersion latestVersion = verHist.Last();
    int versionNumber = latestVersion.Version;
}
