AssemblyInfo Version Number

David Muir

Hi All, I am currently trying to figure out how the [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")] works. In particular the * part of it. I understand about the Major Number, Minor Number and Build Number. What I don't understand is the Revision Number. As it is * it automatically increments... however; what determines the revision number. I.e. where does it come from? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate your thoughts, Thanks :)

It is nothing but the number of Build action. I suppose.

This is also what i expected... however; I dont understand how it is generated. For example, the application i am currently working on requires it to be displayed. I ran the appplication and the number that was displayed was 1.2.0.19976, I made a couple of changes and ran it again, then the new version number was 1.2.0.20068. I don't understand why it increments so much. :)
