A friend of mine asked me on MSN this morning what the difference between
the "AssemblyVersion"
and "AssemblyFileVersion" attributes was. I thought about it for a
bit, realized that I don't know for certain, and then decided to pretend to
know and said something along the lines of "it's probably to allow you to
have different assemblies with the same version, but still being able to tell
builds apart".
Thankfully I was on the right track (unusual for
a Monday morning) as this great post
by Suzanne Cook explains better than I could. Make sure you read the comments,
might save you spending a day in hell.
