title: VS2008 - Adding Letters To Version Number (i.e. 1.1.1.12-Dev)
body: <p>My supervison, coming from a non-.net background wants me to use his special version numbering scheme as major.minor.revision.build[-Dev|RC1|RC2].  He wants to be able to right-click on the dll and see the version number like this or retrieve the version number from the Dll or Exe to display.  I don't see how and my research says MS just doesn't support this kind of thing.  I need a work around.  Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Oh yeah, coding in VS2008 VB.Net on Windows XP Pro SP3.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
