Just use the "1.0.*" syntax for the AssemblyVersion attribute --
decoding the low-order 32 bits is pretty easy. Here's a small
JScript.NET program I wrote to do it...
-S
//
// DecodeVer.js
//
import System;
// Parse command line.
var arg1:String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[1];
var members:String[] = arg1.Split('.');
var n:int = members.Length;
var daysSinceY2k:int = Int32.Parse(members[n-2])
var secondsSinceMidnight:int = Int32.Parse(members[n-1]) * 2;
// Establish baseline: Jan 1st, 2000.
var y2k:DateTime = new DateTime(2000,1,1);
// Add days and seconds, as specified.
var date:DateTime = y2k.AddDays(daysSinceY2k).AddSeconds(secondsSinceMidnight);
// Account for DST (Jan 1st 2000 was *not* during DST).
var offset0 = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(y2k);
var offset1 = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(date);
date += (offset1-offset0);
// Print result.
print(date.ToString("u"));
