Where in a VB.NET project do you get to set the version properties of
your executable? Version number, Copyright, biuld comments, etc (the
stuff that shows up when you right-click Properties/Version)?
In addition to the other replies, some information about versioning:
Basic information on versioning:

Parts of the version number:
Main version
"Product" version.
Sub version
Sub version, for example Service Pack.
Build
During development, auto-increment.
Revision
Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).
When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.
The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.vb". The
version number will updated automatically when re-opening the solution.
Getting the program version number:
\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( _
).GetName().Version.ToString() _
)
///
- or -
\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.To String() _
)
///
