I need to display only 3 numbers for my assembly versions, to comply with our internal guidelines

I tried removing the last digit from the AssemblyInfo file to look like this

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.5.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.5.0")]

And I display it like this

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();

However, it renders all four version numbers (0.5.0.0)

Is there a way to limit it to 3 without changing the code?

ie: only by editing the AssemblyInfo.cs or web.config file

    Without code, no.

    You can use Reflector to see the implementation of Version.ToString(), and it always shows all four elements.

    But there is an overload Version.ToString(int) that will show a specified number of components.

    To choose dynamically you will need to write a method (possible an extension method) yourself.
