If I set the assembly version number for a C# DLL in Visual Studio 2008, is it possible to have the compiled binary automatically include this version number in the file name?

De-referencing null in VS with Windows 7

Is including resource.h in precompiled header a good idea?
The VS-IDE will write //{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}} to resource header files. This comment is actually a feature that prevents (unnecessary) rebuilding of cpp files that include the resource header.
