We’re using a global file called GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs and a local one called AssemblyInfo.cs. The global file contains the following attributes:
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("Your Product Name")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Your Company")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © 2008 ...")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("Your Trademark - if applicable")]
#if DEBUG
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("Debug")]
#else
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("Release")]
#endif
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("This is set by build process")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("This is set by build process")]
The local AssemblyInfo.cs contains the following attributes:
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("Your assembly title")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Your assembly description")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("The culture - if not neutral")]
[assembly: ComVisible(true/false)]
// unique id per assembly
[assembly: Guid("xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")]
You can add the GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs using the following procedure:
- Select Add/Existing Item… in the context menu of the project
- Select GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs
- Expand the Add-Button by clicking on that little down-arrow on the right hand
- Select “Add As Link” in the buttons drop down list
