Need to add "exe" version info to a mobile device exe created in VB

Question

I want to add version info to my mobile device exe file and apparently the following line is not supported in CF (windows mobile 6.0), ideas?:

<Assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")> 

I want to be able to to right-click on the .exe after it is copied over to the PC and have the version displayed in a version tab just like any other .exe. I would then be able to read this version in code from a VB6 program.

You need to set the AssemblyFileVersion, which the CF doesn't support. See this blog entry for a workaround. FWIW, the link he gives to Neil's blog is now here.
