AssemblyVersionAttribute Constructor
Initializes a new instance of the AssemblyVersionAttribute class with the version number of the assembly being attributed.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The format of the version string is: major. minor. build. revision.
When specifying a version, you have to at least specify major. If you specify major and minor, you can specify an asterisk (*) for build. This will cause build to be equal to the number of days since January 1, 2000 local time, and for revision to be equal to the number of seconds since midnight local time, divided by 2.
If you specify major, minor, and build, you can specify an asterisk for revision. This will cause revision to be equal to the number of seconds since midnight local time, divided by 2.
Examples of valid version strings include:
1
1.1
1.1.*
1.1.1
1.1.1.*
1.1.1.1
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
The fragments of the version number (major.minor.build.revision) must all successfully parse as unsigned, 16-bit integers, and be less than the UInt16.MaxValue.
This is different than the System.Version class where each of those fragments are of type Int32.
