I have an odd question/request. Whenever an LLBL library is rebuilt, for example, after I've added a column to a table, it is tagged with a timestamp. This is true even for those classes that do not change (in most cases, this is 99% of our classes).

Ideally, it would be nice if LLBL would realize that a class didn't change, and leave the timestamp alone. However, I realize this may be a little tricky (if even possible), so my next choice would be to just remove the timestamp altogether.

Are either of these possible?

The reason I ask is because our source control sees the class as changing, when in reality, it doesn't change -- only this bit of comments does. So I'm trying to keep these classes that don't change identical between refreshes.

Thanks in advance.

I think there are options in the designer to set this.

**TdlEmitTimeDateInOutputFiles **When set to true (default), the TDL code emitter will emit the time and date for <[Time]gt; statement, otherwise nothing will be emitted for that statement. Set to false only if you need files to stay the same if they're not effectively changed, for example for VSS. A new project will inherit this value. Default is true.

You should set this property at User preferences or Project properties

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
