Version # always returns 1.0.0.1

[purpleflash]

Using this code:

            Assembly myAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            AssemblyName myAssemblyName = myAssembly.GetName();
            textBox2.Text = "Client Version " + myAssemblyName.Version.ToString();

to get he version of my application and set it's value to a textbox.

My app is set up to auto-increment version #'s, and currently is 1.0.0.25

In the debgger, "myAssembly" return the application itself (as is expected) however it always returns 1.0.0.1 for the version. Always.

What's up and what do I need to change?

in the Solution Explorer, expand the Properties entry, then open the AssembyInfo file. The last two lines show the assembly version. What do your's say?

Hmm:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]

that explains it for sure... but should not this auto-increment since I have auto-increment turned on? Or do I make the change to this:

assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*"

to enable it to auto-increment?

Yes you need to use the '*' in the version number for auto-version numbering to work.

Well, the problem then is it versions something like this:

1.0.1256.28472

instead of the 1.0.0.26 (or whatever) it actually is... but in the Properties window it shows the correct version (i.e., 1.0.0.26)
