How can I get MSBuild to increment the ClickOnce publish revision version number on a build server?

Question

We have an NAnt script that checks out from CVS and then runs MSBuild to publish the application. The problem is we have to remember to always increment the version in Visua

You have several options, here are two:

1. Specify an asterisks in lieu of the build version number to have it automatically incremented
   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assemblyversionattribute.aspx

   [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]

2. Use the AsssemblyInfo msbuild task from the MSBuild Extension Pack.

   Example:

Sorry I misread your question.
