how to change file & product version of a exe file

I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express. I have to change the version of my exe file. Please tell me how to do it, either by my C# code, or by batch file.

Solution

  • Somewhere in your code (favorably in AssemblyInfo.cs in the Properties folder of your project), put this:

    [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]

    Also possible is the file version attribute:

    [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

    Make sure that you only have one instance of AssemblyVersion and/or AssemblyFileVersion attributes in a single assembly - everything else won't compile.
