Where do you enter your version information about your exe so that you can
tell what version of the exe you are looking at?

Thanks,

Look in the AssemblyInfo.[cs or vb] file that is created as part of the
project. You can set the exe version number using the AssemblyVersion
attribute.

(C#)
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
(VB.Net)
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>

To programmatically get the version number at runtime, place the following
line of code somewhere in your exe.
(C#)
Version v =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version;
 
In addition to the assemblyversion look up the InformationalVersion (product
version):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lyinformationalversionattributeclasstopic.asp

If you want to give your exe a different file version (to the assembly
version) check out Neil's blog entry:
