How can I make the AssemblyInfo version of a C# .NET CF program propagate to the Explorer Properties window?

.net, c#, compact-framework, versioning

Solution

Note, that the AssemblyFileVersion attribute is not available under .NET Compact Framework!

See this article from Daniel Mooth for a workaround.

Problem

It seems like if you compile a Visual Studio solution and have a version # in your AssemblyInfo.cs file, that should propagate to say, the Windows Explorer properties dialog. This way, someone could simply right click on the *.exe and click 'properties' to see the version #. Is there a special setting in Visual Studio to make this happen? example picture http://content.screencast.com/users/Pincas/folders/Jing/media/40442efd-6d74-4d8a-8e77-c1e725e6c150/2008-09-24_0849.png Edit: I should have mentioned that this is, specifically, for .NET Compact Framework 2.0, which doesn't support AssemblyFileVersion. Is all hope lost?
