This is used at runtime to locate, link and load assemblies
This is the version number that is used when you embed a reference to an assembly.
Edit the AssemblyInfo.cs file and change the build and revision numbers to asterisks
[assembly: AssemblyVersion ("1.0.*)]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion ("1.0.0")]

Assembly: AssemblyVersion("3.0.*)
'Assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")
