Thanks for the last answer, but now how can i restart the count of the
Build and Revision numbers of a dll in VS.Net.

Thanks

are you using the auto-numbering?
Just take out the * and specify your own manually.

I want to continue using the auto-numbering, but starting
from zero.

Hello Pietro,

In short, you cant. When you use autonumbering, the following is assumed [1]:

If you specify major and minor, you can specify an asterisk (*)for build.
This causes build to be equal to the number of days since January 1, 2000,
local time, and revision to be equal to the number of seconds since midnight,
January 1, 2000, local time, divided by 2.

If you specify major, minor, and build, you can specify an asterisk for revision.
This causes revision to be equal to the number of seconds since midnight,
January 1, 2000, local time, divided by 2.

Given that, if you want to use auto numbering, your revision (and maybe even
your build) numbers will be based January 1, 2000.

the application.
