Version # always returns 1.0.0.1

Using this code:

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?

Using .Net 3.5SP1 on XP

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)
