HOWTO: Build Increment Add-on for Visual Studio 2010

Tired of manually incrementing major, minor, build and revision numbers for your software application?

There is another way! I've found a great add-on where the major, minor, build and revision numbers can be incremented or set to a predefine value whenever a build or rebuild of the application source code occurs.

BuildVersionIncrement is an add-on you can download and install in the Visual Studio IDE and setup how you want the major, minor, build and revision numbers to change whenever a build or rebuild event occurs for Debug or Release solutions.

The add-on adds a GUI element where many BuildVersionIncrement parameters can be changed.

I've installed BuildVersionIncrement on Visual Studio 2010 Professional for Windows 7 and thus far experienced no stability issues. Works like a charm.

Thanks BuildVersionIncrement!
