Automatic version incrementing

[Elmo Watson]

in VB6, I could set my applications, so that, with every build, it would
increment the version number.
However, I can't find that capability in VS.Net 2005....I can find it if I
publish the applicatioin, but I don't have any need for my users running the
application from my website - I want it only installed locally on the users'
machines.

How can I automatically increment the version # with each Build?

Use asterisks * in the build number for the AssemblyVersion attribute.

Ex: [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")]

So far, this has only made the last number change - and it's not totally
logical - it will go from 1.0.0.2700 something to 1.0.0.32-- , to 1.0.0.44--
and then back to 1.0.0.22--
First - how is the build section supposed to work?
Also - it won't accept an asterisk in any of the other boxes, so how it is
supposed to really increment?

(I'm entering this stuff in the Assembly information area of 'MyProject')
