I don't think it's possible.

I know there are opensource tools that can set any file date, etc. &nbsp;If I use that approach to set the version will that be a hack or will it run fine? &nbsp;I cannot just recompile because that will invalidate our test.

Okay, you have confirmed what I thought was true. &nbsp;I will just have to tell my client that it takes a recompile to change the version in .NET. &nbsp;Maybe we can keep the source code in escrow and let them do the recompile. &nbsp;We're not landing space shuttles with our code, but the customer has a process we need to follow.

How do I set the version of of &nbsp;.NET assembly without a recomplie?<br />
A customer is quite rigid about running a version less than 0, for example 0.0.2.1, in Beta test. &nbsp;When user accepts code then they simply want to change the version to 1.0.0.0 and move to production *without* giving the code back to the developer for a recompile. &nbsp;Sounds simple, but how?<br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
