Caution   UpgradeCode should only be set for the first version; it should never be changed for subsequent versions of the application, nor should it be changed for different language versions.

To access the Upgrade Code dialog box, select the UpgradeCode property in the Properties window when a deployment project is selected in Solution Explorer.
