What is this file used for - AssemblyInfo.vb?

For the most part, versioning info about the application. Such as, you can specify that this is version 1.38.8.103

Also, information like the author's name, date of creation, blah blah blah

Also for specifying strong names, and some security stuff.

Thank You

What's a strong name? I am tempted to crack a joke about it, but I cannot think of anything witty at the moment.

I am at a loss for a joke as well...

Strong Names are necessary when you want to add a DLL you created to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) to be used by any application.
