What has replaced the VERSIONINFO resource for C# projects?

Question

C# projects use a .resx file for resources. This is fine for strings, but it does not seem to have the equivilant of the old VERSIONINFO resource that the C++ project .rc files supported.

I can not believe that Microsoft has given up the idea of keeping track of executable versions ... so is there some VERSIONINFO-equivilent resource used with the .resx resource file? How do you bind version information into a C# project?

Answer 1

If you select a project in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click Project/Properties, and click the Assembly Information button, you can put your version information in the dialog box that opens.

The version information is stored in the resulting assembly's manifest.
