When will be the AssemblyVersion incremented?

Question

Propably a stupid question but here it goes.

I have a blank console application and I added to the AssemlyInfo.cs file this line of code.

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

I'm wondering at what point gets the number incremented ?

Seems like a duplicate of: [How to have an auto incrementing version number (Visual Studio)?](http://stackoverflow.com/a/826850/952310) — Yair Nevet, May 21 '13 at 20:15

It will be updated every day / build.

From MSDN:

A version number such as [assembly:AssemblyVersion("1.2.*")] specifies 1 as the major version, 2 as the minor version, and accepts the default build and revision numbers. A version number such as [assembly:AssemblyVersion("1.2.15.*")] specifies 1 as the major version, 2 as the minor version, 15 as the build number, and accepts the default revision number. The default build number increments daily. The default revision number is random.

Edit: As of Framework 4.5, the revision number is no longer random; it is the number of seconds since midnight, divided by 2.

Like every time I build my project ? I did that couple of times and it is still 1.0.0.0 – user49126 May 21 '13 at 20:19
Yeah, it doesn't happen automatically out of the box. – Robert Harvey May 21 '13 at 20:20
@user49126 Are you checking the Product Version, or File Version on your built assembly? – DaveShaw May 21 '13 at 20:22
Both values are 1.0.0.0 – user49126 May 21 '13 at 20:30

If you specify AssemblyFileVersion, it overrides AssemblyVersion. Remove the entry for AssemblyFileVersion and it should work. – Joel Lucsy May 22 '13 at 02:20
Thanks Joel, this was the problem. Add it as an answer and I will accept it. – user49126 May 22 '13 at 08:41
