Parts of the version number:

Main version
    "Product" version.

Sub version
    Sub version, for example Service Pack.

Build
    During development, auto-increment.

Revision
    Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).

When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.

The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.vb". The
version number will updated automatically when re-opening the solution.

Getting the program version number:

\\\
MsgBox( _
    System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( _
    ).GetName().Version.ToString() _
)
///

- or -

\\\
MsgBox( _
    System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.ToString() _
)
///

Version information for executable files and DLLs can be obtained by using
the 'System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo' class.
