Here must be my problem. I don't see an AssemblyInfo file under SolutionExplorer. Do I need to create one?

Did I do something wrong when I setup my project that it wasn't created?

Thanks,

Hi Lori,

I agree with Curt that we should specify the version number of a assembly
via the "AssemblyVersion" attribute such as
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]

As for the "AssemblyInfo.cs(.vb)" file, this is a file VS.NET automatically
created for us(for control the assembly's build options) when we create a
new project. You can try creating a new project(no matter winform or web
application) to have a look. And here is some tech articles in MSDN about
the version control for .net:

OK. I see that when you create a new "Web Control Library" project it creates a AssemblyInfo.vb file.

It appears that someone I mistakenly created an Empty project instead.

Does anyone know how I can convert my project over? Do I just add an Assembly Informatio file with an Add New Item? Or do I have to do something else?

Thanks,
Lori

Hi Lori,

Just add a new one (AssemblyInfo.cs(.vb)file) or copy one from other
projects which contain such a file. Also, if you can change it to some
other names if you would like. No other particular setting needed.
