My AssemblyInfo file has [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]

My file version is now 1.0.2594.35196

How do I control this. Where is this stored? What is the difference
between build and revision?

Thanks in advance,
jim
 
Please read the description of System.Reflection.AssemblyVersionAttribute
class in MSDN, it explains these numbers and how you can control them.
 
Hi Jim,

As Ashot pointed out, you could find the information here:

#AssemblyVersionAttribute Class (System.Reflection)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assemblyversionat
tribute.aspx

In your case, "1.0.*" means use default build and revision numbers; since
the default build number increments daily and the default revision number
is random, you get 1.0.2594.35196.

For the difference between build and revision, you might want to take a
look at following page:

Let us know if you need anything else.
