How do I add file version info to a C# .NET command line utility? I'd
like to update the file version, description, company name, etc. that you
see when you right-click the EXE and get its properties. With our C++
code, we'd add a version resource to the RC file. Not sure what the
equivalent for a C# program is. I'm thinking it would have something to
do with the program's manifest, but am not sure of the details. I do have
utilities for injecting a manifest into a program, but am not sure what
needs to be added.

Thanks,
David
