ProductVersion not incrementing

[AvatarZA]

I am trying to put the vesion of my app on the interface, I have used all 3 of the following to get the vesion

Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.ToString

or

System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location).ProductVersion

or

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName().Version.Major.ToString() & "." & System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName().Version.Minor.ToString() & "." & System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName().Version.Build.ToString()

They all work but when i build my app the ProductVersion is not changing i have also checked the exe and the version is also staying the same there to. How does vb.net increment the version, do you need to set it up somewhere. Could you please advise me on this, cause i need to display the version.

Thanks a lot.

I'm new to VB.Net and am still on the bottom of the learning curve. Hopefully this will help.

The assembly attributes are located in the AssemblyInfo.vb file. You can manually set the Major and Minor version numbers.

' 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(&quot;1.3.*&quot>

What he said but also make sure that you have checked off enable incremental build.

Go to the properties of your project. Select configuration Properties ->Optimizations
Then check the option.

Hope this works for you. That'l do donkey, that'l do

AvatarZA - Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same issue with version incrementing not happening.
