What is JJ.AutoIncrementVersion ?!

We want our * back!

Those don't work anymore for version numbers. But we want auto-incremental numbers!

This package allows you to use $(BuildNum) instead.

How to Use?

You can use $(BuildNum) inside your version number, like this:

1.0.$(BuildNum)

And the effective version becomes something like this:

1.0.123

Every time you build your project, the $(BuildNum) is simply incremented by 1.

Setup

• Install the package.
• Build twice for luck.
• Start using $(BuildNum).

Advanced Use?

Nothing:

• No config
• No command line
• No hidden options

Just:

• Install the package,
• Add $(BuildNum) to your version.
• And build.
