But the version number always seems to lag one revision. I've split out the assembly version attribute into a separate file, VersionInfo.cs, that is updated with a pre build event. I'm using ...

This is a behavior I noticed several times before and I would like to know the reason behind that. If you run the following program under the (Visual Studio 2008) debugger, the debugger will keep breaking on the throw statement no matter how often you continue debugging.
