Versioning Assemblies
Assemblies also need to be versioned. You specify the version number for your application by adding an AssemblyInfo attribute to a code file in your application. If you create your applications using Visual Studio .NET, you automatically have a file named AssemblyInfo.vb that contains several of these attributes, which enable you to set all the information you see in the Properties window when examining a compiled executable or DLL, including a brief description, the relevant company and copyrights, and so on. A typical AssemblyInfo.vb file might look like this:
