A strong-named assembly has a fully qualified name that includes the assembly's name, culture, public key, and version number. The runtime uses this information to locate the assembly and differentiate it from other assemblies with the same name.

For example an assembly MyLibrary can have the name
"myTypes, Version=1.0.1234.0, Culture="en-US", PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089c

The version info has major,minor ,build,revision numbers
