In .NET there are two version numbers available when building a project, File Version and Assembly Version. How are you using these numbers? Keeping them the same? Auto-incrementing one, but manually changing the other?
Also what about the AssemblyInformationalVersion attribute?
I’d found this support Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article that provided some help: How to use Assembly Version and Assembly File Version.
In a scenario where I have multiple file assemblies (i.e. 1 exe and 5 dlls) I will use a different file version for each, but the same assembly version for all of them, allowing you to know which exe each of the dlls go with.
