Hello Fellow Developer,

For years I have been hoping a decent Version Incrementer would be included with 
Visual Studio.

So I put some of my knowledge and experience to the test and produced my own.

Believing in the principle of KISS, I decided to make VersionIncrement an 
independent program that can be run from the command line or integrated into
the Visual Studio build process.

-----------------
Example increment:

c:>VersionIncrement.exe "c:\Development\MyProjectFolder" revisionrollover=5 versionname=assemblyversion
Running VersionIncrement.exe 1.0.8.4. Args=3
        assemblyversion from 1.0.8.4 to 1.0.9.0

Here the command line consists of:
	VersionIncrement.exe			The executable
	"c:\Development\MyProjectFolder"	Path to the folder where the 
						project containing the Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs file
	revisionrollover=5			Indicating that the the Revision part of the Version
						rolls over at 5, incrementing the Build part by one
	versionname=assemblyversion             Only touch the AssemblyVersion, Default is for both 
						AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion
The outout indicates the result of the increment on the AssemblyVersion.

There are other command line options.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A good way to use the VersionIncrement is in the Visual Studio project properties 'Build Events':
c:\VersionIncrement.exe "$(ProjectDir)"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a cautious soul, I will not yet put either the run-time nor the source
on a public web site.

However, if you are at all interested in receiving a copy, please write to me.

My reward is your feedback.
