What does it mean when we say that "C# is versionable"?

Could someone please explain this concept.
Thanks very much.

I think it is that you can have different versions of the same component at the same time and your applications will know which version to use and what vesions not to use.

In the past you had a "DLL HELL" where when you upgraded a DLL older software stopped working due to new features or rewritten code. Now with .NET you will have less problem with this.

You're absolutely right. To be more precise, it is the .Net framework that handles the versioning (so VB.NET code is versionable also). Basically, when you push out a new build, old code will still pick up the previous versions of your dll's while your new code will use the new dll's. This happens automatically, seamlessly, and (so far) perfectly.

Take a look at the documentation about assembly and there you will find info about versioning.
