Wildcard versioning - auto increment

[dwbeva]

When using the wildcard versioning (for ex 1.0.0.*), is there a way to make it so the wildcard is generated sequentially? That is, it would be 1.0.0.0 on the first build, then 1.0.0.1, then 1.0.0.2 ...

You should use ADO build variables for this. The Counters expression works great for this. Create one that stores a counter against the non-sub number e.g. 1.0.0 and you will then simply need to pass e.g. 1.0.0.$(IncrementableNumber) into the AssemblyInfoTask.

Wildcard versioning is presumably to support specific MSBuild behaviour.
