How does assembly versioning work?



How does assembly versioning work?..

Answer / swapna

Each assembly has a version number called the compatibility
version. Also each reference to an assembly (from another
assembly) includes both the name and version of the
referenced assembly.The version number has four numeric
parts (e.g. 5.5.2.33).

Assemblies with either of the first two parts different are
normally viewed as incompatible. If the first two parts are
the same, but the third is different, the assemblies are
deemed as 'maybe compatible'.

If only the fourth part is different, the assemblies are
deemed compatible. However, this is just the default
guideline - it is the version policy that decides to what
extent these rules are enforced. The version policy can be
specified via the application configuration file.
