Hi there

I'm evaluating FinalBuilder at the moment and just wanted to know the difference between Assembly Info and Version Info in the "Build VS.Net Solution" action and using a property set to update the build numbers in a C# project?

&nbsp;

Thanks

Dave

&nbsp;

Please?

Hi Dave,   
  
 The assembly version controls the version of the assembly, and the file version controls the version of the file. Generally you’d set them to the same version number, but of course it’s up to you. Changing the assembly version has implications with strong naming the assembly I think.

Hi Dave   
  
 I think Tate misunderstood the question. Assembly Info tab contains the version information that applies to .NET projects in the solution. The Version Information tab contains the version info that applies to Win32/Win64 C++ projects that are part of the VS solution.

Hi there

&nbsp;

Thanks for that. I'm getting it pretty well sorted out now. Still testing but a very well thought out product. Thanks!

&nbsp;

Cheers

Dave
