Since I do not have much of a readership, I try to use this blog as a repository for information that I want to keep handy as well as share with others.  This one is a great article for implementing an automatic version process in VS.Net.

I have implemented this myself, and it makes life a little bit easier.

The only drawback for me is that I use Visual SourceSafe, so in order to build, you have to remember to check out the AssemblyInfo.vb file, otherwise you'll receive an error about the file being unavailable.

Happy Coding!
