module release and browser cache refresh

Does DNN handle this for me, that when I release new module .css and .js files get refreshed in client browser cache?

I guess DNN should do that by adding to querystring of .css/.js files module version. DNN adds something like ?cdv=59, but is this it?

I figured out this cdv is not it.
I solved it like this but only for JS files:

string versionStr = "?v" + FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location).ProductVersion.ToString();

ClientResourceManager.RegisterScript(page, "/DesktopModules/Atena3/clientLibs/atena3.js"+versionStr , 100000);

And version you specify in
assemblyinfo.cs:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("00.00.40.00")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("00.00.40.00")]

It doesnt work for css files (If i use ClientResourceManager.RegisterStyleSheet), version query string param is not added. How do i achieve that?

Actually that cdv parameter might be your answer - http://dynamisys.co.uk/ArticlesDownlo...

Re: module release and browser cache refresh

So cdv gets incremented each time you install an extension. Quote from one of pages you posted.
" DNN increments the number when an extension is installed, a DNN upgrade is performed, the cache is cleared"
I tested this now and it is true.
Problem solved. Thanks.
