Version Trigger for code

[95se5m]

Hello all, I am working on an application and am having trouble keeping track of version numbers. Here's the deal. When you use wild cards, it creates a build based on time and date, I need to keep a running numeric value. In my database I created a database trigger that whenever I change something it updates the build by 1 till it hits 999 then it sets build to 0 and updates the minor version by 1. I would love to have a similar function in my VB application. Anyonw have anything that does something similar that can be triggered by a compile or something?

I've never tried to do this myself but I'd guess that this is what you want:

Close I think, I am looking into it now to see if the code can be changed to modify the assembly file before the compile.

This is what I found, it works like a champ, it ajusts the version build number whenever a change is made to the code.

Just thought I would share, it's a great add-in.
