[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(\"1.0.*\")]

Answer 1

Patrick already gave the correct answer, but here is just a little advice. If you look into AssemblyInfo.cs you'll find the following block at the end:

// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
//
//      Major Version
//      Minor Version 
//      Build Number
//      Revision
//
// You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers 
// by using the '*' as shown below:
//[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

Now go on and flip the comment from the last three lines as follows:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
//[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
//[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

And everything works as expected... :-)

Answer 2

You cannot use 1.0.* to auto-increment the AssemblyFileVersion, only the AssemblyVersion. (Checked in all Visual Studio versions from 2005 to 2012).

Comment out the following line

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

and the File Version will take the same number as the Assembly Version.
