Hi,

In the AssemblyInfo.cs file I change the AssemblyVersion["1.0.0"];
attribute from the default "1.0.*" blah

I notice that its FORCING 4 digit notation, so if I use "1.0.0" I get
"1.0.0.0" in that property. Are we FORCED to have 4 digits for our
versioning or can this be overrided?

Thanks

I don't think you can override this, check out the docs:

The version number has four parts, as follows:
<major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<revision>

The version number always has four parts, with the format:

<major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<revision>

There is a more complete overview in the documentation for
AssemblyVersionAttribute itself (http://tinyurl.com/295jl).

n!

Is this a requirement in the ECMA?

Yes. See section 6.1.2.4 of partition 2 of the spec.

"CLI Partition IV - Library" notes:

AssemblyVersion:
Specifies the version of the assembly in the form 1.0.x.y, where x is a
build number and y is a revision number.
