how to change file & product version of a exe file

Question

I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express. I have to change the version of my exe file. Please tell me how to do it, either by my C# code, or by batch file.

Accepted Answer

Somewhere in your code (favorably in `AssemblyInfo.cs` in the `Properties` folder of your project), put this:

```
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
```

Also possible is the file version attribute:

```
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]
```

Make sure that you only have one instance of `AssemblyVersion` and/or `AssemblyFileVersion` attributes in a single assembly - everything else won't compile.
