I set up a setup (installer) project in my solution and there is the version there 1.0.0.

My question is, how does the version-ing work?

What does each number mean and how does it increase? Can anyone give me an insight on how this numbering system work?

Lastly, how would I go about displaying the version number on my form?

I tried: 

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

But this is showing 1.0.0.0 and not the version I put into the installer (1.2).

What’s the correct way to deal with version numbers?

    The version you are trying to retrieve with Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version needs to be set in Project Properties, Assembly Information.

    Information about Version Numbers can be found here.
