What is the difference between "Runtime Version" and "Version"? [duplicate]

In Visual Studio (2012 in my case) when you click on a dll in References, the properties come up. In this properties windows, "Version" and "Runtime Version" are both listed.

What is the difference between these two? I need to download an old version of a dll so that it will work with this solution, but do not know which version is the dll version.

Runtime version is the .Net framework version that the library was built against. Version is the version of the DLL itself.

Runtime version refers to the version of the .NET CLR and version refers to the DLL version.
