Auto increment build version

[Krenshau]

Hello,

In vb6 there is an option to auto increment the build version when the code is compiled. I have been looking for a way to do that in .NET, is it possible? If so, how?

Thank you for your help.

Sure its possible. Using the AssemblyInfo class in 2003 ...

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("3.0.*")>

Where it will increment 3.0.?????
Then in the configuration properties of the project you would check the box - Enable Incremental Builds.

I'm sorry, I should have put that this is for VS2005.

I did adjust the information in the AssemblyInfo class, but I did not see a check box in the properties page. Is there something different for 2005?

I should also say that this is a CCW, incase that changes anything as well.

Thank you.

For 2005 its....

Project Properties > Publish > Publish Version > check "Automatically Increment revision with each publish."

Thanks for your help RobDog, but I seem to be missing something. Let me make sure I understand you correctly, first. Below is a picture of Project Properties. I shrunk it a bit so it may not be clear, but is this the screen you are talking about? If so, I don't see a publish section on there. Am I missing something?

Thank you for your help.

Hmm, hard to see but looks different. Perhaps because I am running Team Suite.

That could be, I am using Pro. After doing some more reading, I think the problem is that it is for click once deployment. I have my CCW going in a merge module, then in an installation project, all in the same solution. I am still looking, but a quick answer would be very helpful.

Thank you.
