Hi all,
How can I set the version information (major, minor) in my assembly.
And also how can I easily get it at runtime?

If you are using Visual Studio .NET IDE created projects, then the file
AssemblyInfo.cs has the AssemblyVersion attribute to spefify the version.

To get the version info at runtime: Assembly.GetName().Version

Take a look at -> AssemblyInfo.cs

System.Reflection.Assembly a =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

System.Reflection.AssemblyName an = a.GetName();
Version v = an.Version;
 
Whenever you create project using VS.Net , IDE automatically creates file
name AssemblyInfo.cs or AssemblyInfo.vb. This file consists of attribute named
"<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")> " here you can specify version number
of your assembly.

To get version number at run time you can use following static function of
Assembly class "Assembly.GetName().Version"
