Setting the version number for .NET Core projects - CSPROJ - not JSON projects

Setting the version number for .NET Core projects - CSPROJ - not JSON projects

You can set the version number for .NET Core projects that use .csproj files by adding a Version element to the PropertyGroup section of the .csproj file. Here's an example:

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
  <Version>1.0.0</Version>
</PropertyGroup>

In this example, the Version element is set to 1.0.0. You can replace this with the version number that you want to use for your project.

Note that this Version element sets the version number for the entire project, including all of its assemblies. If you need to set the version number for individual assemblies, you can use the AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion attributes in the AssemblyInfo.cs file for each assembly.

Also, keep in mind that the version number is just a string and does not affect the behavior of your application. However, it can be useful for tracking changes to your application over time, and for ensuring that different versions of your application are correctly identified and distinguished from each other.
