VS 2005 Cool Feature No. 2: Assembly Information Screen

Assembly Information Screen

Open the properties of your project, and on the "Application" screen, click the "Assembly Information" button.

We now have  a simplified way to manage our assembly's manifest information. From here, we can set all of the core product information, version #'s, language, etc. I'm also happy to see that Microsoft got rid of the annoying "1.0.*" version numbering. Now I won't have to remember to load up the AssemblyInfo.vb file every time I create a new project, and set this to 1.0.0.0 by hand. Of course, you can still add your own Assembly level attributes, by simply selecting the "Show All Files" option in the solution explorer, then editing the AssemblyInfo.vb file directly, and adding the appropriate attribute tags. For those of you who actually like the "1.0.*" options, you can re-enable that in this file simply by uncommenting the line.
