I've been looking and looking for how to set the version numbers for my
visual studio project...where the heck is it? Used to be able to do it from
project properties in VB6. I found out how to read the version number, but
where to set it?
Some additional information:
Basic information on versioning:

Parts of the version number:
Main version
"Product" version.
Sub version
Sub version, for example Service Pack.
Build
During development, auto-increment.
Revision
Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).
When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.
The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.vb". The
version number will updated automatically when re-opening the solution.
Getting the program version number:
\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( _
).GetName().Version.ToString() _
)
///
- or -
\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.To String() _
)
///
