Assembly version ".001" becomes ".1"
.net, assemblyversionattribute, c#
Solution
The `AssemblyVersion` attribute stores it's information as a `Version` object. The components of the `Version` struct are integers, and are treated as such. So `1.2.3.4 == 1.02.003.004` but `1.2.3.4 != 1.2.3.400`
You can use the `AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute` to provide aditional, arbitrarily formatted information about your product, as it's information is stored as a `string`, rather than a `Version`. So you can do:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.1.102")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("v.01 alpha")]
Or whatever you like
Problem
In WinForms I have an AssemblVersion ``` [assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.002")] ``` However when the splash screen comes up it completely ignores the zeros showing: ``` 1.1.1.2 ``` as the version which is very inconvenient since later I will actually want to have an assembly version ``` [assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.200")] ``` Is there a way to avoid this or do I Have to add some number at the beginning of last part of the version like so: ``` [assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.102")] ```
