Question

i have a simple .EXE console application, written in C# via Visual Studio 2008. how do i specify the .EXE’s version number? I’d like to manually update it when I make updates to the program. I do not want to use the “Publish Wizard” (which supports Publish Version properties) since it creates a setup.exe and is over-blown for our simple app (which we deploy via XCOPY).

thanks,
matt

Take a look at AssemblyInfo.cs in the Properties node in the Solution Explorer. In particular, search for AssemblyVersion and FileVersion attributes.
