Where do you define the version of an assembly?

  1. In the Solution Explorer

  2. In the AssemblyInfo.cs file

  3. In the Project Properties

  4. In the app.config file

The correct answer is: In the AssemblyInfo.cs file

The version of an assembly is defined in the AssemblyInfo.cs file. This file contains metadata about the assembly, including attributes like AssemblyVersion, AssemblyFileVersion, and AssemblyInformationalVersion. By specifying these values, developers can control the versioning behavior of their assemblies, which is important for managing dependencies and ensuring that applications use the correct versions of libraries. The AssemblyInfo.cs file is typically located in the Properties folder of a project within the Solution Explorer, but it is explicitly the place where version information is declared and maintained. While other files and settings might influence aspects of a project, the AssemblyInfo.cs file is specifically intended for defining such assembly attributes, making it a critical component in version management.
