Building binary with a version number and meta data

[puzzlecracker]

Guys,

I'm building a c# app, and want to include a standard version and
other relavant info, like a build data. Hence a user can do ./app.exe -
r or click on help via gui and will have the info available.

What is the standard pattern for that? I imagine that some of that
should be read from the file.

Thanks

Have a look at AssemblyVersionAttribute, Application.ProductName, and
Application.ProductVersion in MSDN.
