In Visual Studio 2005, is there an easy way to automatically increment the assembly/file build numbers after a successful build?

Emphasis on easy. I would like to track my build version, without having to set up CruiseControl or some similar tool.

  1. You can use this project and include it your .proj file

    This url might be of use Updating Porj build number

    This didn’t fit my needs and I took to adding this as a build.proj which works a treat

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build"            xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">    <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/> <PropertyGroup>     <Major>1</Major>     <Minor>0</Minor>     <Build>0</Build>     <Revision>0</Revision>   </PropertyGroup>   <PropertyGroup>     <BuildDir>C:\svn\Infrastructure</BuildDir> </PropertyGroup>    <ItemGroup>     <SolutionsToBuild Include="Infrastructure.sln"/>   </ItemGroup>    <Target Name="Build" DependsOnTargets="ChangeDataAccessAssemblyInfo">     <RemoveDir Directories="$(BuildDir)\Builds" Condition="Exists('$(BuildDir)\Builds')" />     <MSBuild Projects="@(SolutionsToBuild)" Properties="Configuration=Debug" Targets="Rebuild" />   </Target>    <ItemGroup>     <TestAssemblies Include="Build\Logging\Logging.UnitTests.dll" />   </ItemGroup>      <Target Name="ChangeDataAccessAssemblyInfo" >     <Message Text="Writing ChangeDataAccessAssemblyInfo file for 1"/>     <Message Text="Will update $(BuildDir)\DataAccess\My Project\AssemblyInfo.vb" />     <AssemblyInfo CodeLanguage="VB"        OutputFile="$(BuildDir)\DataAccess\My Project\AssemblyInfo_new.vb"                   AssemblyTitle="Data Access Layer"        AssemblyDescription="Message1"        AssemblyCompany="http://somewebiste"        AssemblyProduct="the project"        AssemblyCopyright="Copyright notice"        ComVisible="true"        CLSCompliant="true"        Guid="hjhjhkoi-9898989"        AssemblyVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).1.1"        AssemblyFileVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).5.7"        Condition="$(Revision) != '0' "        ContinueOnError="false" />      <Message Text="Updated Assembly File Info"               ContinueOnError="false"/>   </Target>   </Project>
