GUID increment

[sm43]

The way to NOT generate a new GUID for a .Net Assembly every time it compiles is to set the Increment Build property in Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Advanced. I recently had a lot of trouble because the GUI was incrementing at each compile & I was ending up with 10's of guid's (10's of entries for that particular dll in Windows Registry).

I'm trying to make sure i avoid this in the future.

Thanks!

Look in your AssemblyInfo.cs and set the version number to an explicit value: "1.0.0.0" instead of the default "1.0.*" which results in the version number always incrementing (which means the GAC thinks you're a whole new assembly).
