AssemblyInfo.cs

What is the significance of AssemblyInfo.cs file that gets created automatically in .NET environment ? where and how it is used

The asswmblyinfo.cs holds information required for versioning the assembly. Normally you will provide your public key generated by the sn.exe utility and also a flag to delay sign or not. There is an MSDN article about this or a good reference will be WROX Advanced C# book.

I would like to add that there is nothing special about the AssemblyInfo
file. It is merely a convention used by VS.NET but the compiler itself does
not recognize this in any special way.
