Different types of files in Dot Net

Hi i am novice to dot net technology.

I want to know the types of files generated in dot net.

For e.g :- In C#, i have seen many files with extensions

.csproj, .pdb, etc. How many more types of files are there ?

Please explain with their respective usage.

Also, what is the use of Assemblyinfo.cs file ?

Hi Kapil

Plz refer this link for c# file extensionbm

Assemblyinfo.cs is file which contains project name, company name, assembly version.

Assembly name and version can be changed from assemblyinfo.cs

[assembly: AssemblyTitle("ClassLibrary1")]

[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]

[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]

[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Microsoft")]

[assembly: AssemblyProduct("ClassLibrary1")]

[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]

[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

// Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible

// to COM components. If you need to access a type in this assembly from

// COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type.

[assembly: ComVisible(false)]

// The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM

[assembly: Guid("f5477586-924b-4e25-bd5b-c07513506162")]

// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:

// Major Version

// Minor Version

// Build Number

// Revision

// You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers

// by using the '*' as shown below:

// [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]
