Turn off warning CS1607

Question

I have a common assembly file where I have tried to turn off a warning:

warning CS1607: Assembly generation -- The version '2.0.4.121106' specified for the 'file version' is not in the normal 'major.minor.build.revision' format

I have done this but it isn't working:

#pragma warning disable 1607    
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("2.0.4.121106")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("2.0.0.0")]
#pragma warning restore 1607

So is there some way to do this in the code?

Answer 1

The reason why you are getting the error is because the revision number is greater than 65534. And I found researching the same problem for my solution is that there is no way (or easy/correct) to suppress this warning. But in order for us to get around it we found that we could set the following code in out AssemblyVersion.cs with your versions as an example:

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("2.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("2.0.4.121106")]

This will make it the Product Version of our dlls "2.0.4.121106" when viewing the details of the Properties > Details of our dlls.

You can do it in project properties on "Build" tab. There is a field called "Suppress warnings" where you should put "1607" there.
