You can have build and revision incremented for you but not major and minor.

Simply substitute

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]

with

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

in the AssemblyInfo.cs

yes i add up the initial values in assembly that is 1.0.0.0 but it is not increment in each build. i am showing the Version detail in my app "About Tab" via using code like this label.Text = Application.ProductName + " Version " + Application.ProductVersion – Asad Iqbal Sep 26 '11 at 12:27
@Asad the value should not be 1.0.0.0 but 1.0.* if you wish the build/revision part to be incremented automatically. – Rune FS Sep 26 '11 at 12:28

Have you tried grabbing the Assembly's version?

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version;

Perhaps this is what you are looking for.

Also check out this other SO post - I think this is what you are looking for.

Automatically update version number

Below is a second link to a .Net add-in that automatically increments the:

Major
Minor
Build
Revision

@AsadIqbal I edited my post with a link. I think this should get you rolling. – Sep 26 '11 at 12:32

I have found that it works well to simply display the date of the last build using the following wherever a product version is needed:

System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location).ToString("yyyy.MM.dd.HHMM")

Rather than attempting to get the version from something like the following:

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
object[] attributes = assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute), false);
object attribute = null;

if (attributes.Length > 0)
{
    attribute = attributes[0] as System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute;
}
