CA1016Design Enabled by default: As suggestion

Mark assemblies with AssemblyVersionAttribute

Description

The identity of an assembly is composed of the following information:

Assembly name

Version number

Culture

Public key (for strongly named assemblies).

.NET uses the version number to uniquely identify an assembly and to bind to types in strongly named assemblies. The version number is used together with version and publisher policy. By default, applications run only with the assembly version with which they were built.

Cause

The assembly does not have a version number.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, add a version number to the assembly by using the System.Reflection.AssemblyVersionAttribute attribute.

Example

using System;
using System.Reflection;

[assembly: AssemblyVersionAttribute("4.3.2.1")]
namespace DesignLibrary {}

When to suppress

Do not suppress a warning from this rule for assemblies that are used by third parties or in a production environment.
