George,
According to M$ docs (and also post from Bob I think) build number and revision number together represents date/time the app was built. The build number represents the number of days since 1/1/2000 and the revision number represents the number of seconds since midnight divided by 2.
At first I thought the autoinc build number (like VFP has) was a better solution, but after thinking about it the date-time representation given by build and revision number sounds better. Well it is not that much better but atleast the user will not find out that you built the app 1001 times before you shipped it :)

>Thanks. I think what folks are looking for is something like the autoincrement feature in VFP. Unfortunately, it looks like unless you either accept the defaults, or go through the trouble of modifying the AssemblyInfo.cs file, your stuck with either the defaults or setting the build number yourself. Additionally, it looks to me like the revision number is based on the date/time.
