<p>I have a small VB.NET application that I'm working on using the full version of Visual Studio 2005. In the <strong>Publish</strong> properties of the project, I have it set to <em>Automatically increment revision with each publish</em>.</p>

<p>The issue is that it's only incrementing the revision in the Setup files. It doesn't seem to be updating the version number in the About Box (which is the generic, built-in, About Box template). That version number seems to be coming from <em>My.Application.Info.Version</em>.</p>

<p>What should I be using instead so that my automatically incrementing revision number shows up in the about box?</p>

I'm no VB.NET expert, but have you tried to set the value to for example 1.0.0.*?
This should increase the revision number (at least it does in the AssemblyInfo.cs in C#).
