I think what you are looking for is something like this: How to auto-increment assembly version using a custom MSBuild task. It's a little old but I think it will work.
Problem
What are the strategies for versioning of a web application/ website? I notice that here in the Beta there is an svn revision number in the footer and that's ideal for an application that uses svn over one repository. But what if you use externals or a different source control application that versions separate files? It seems easy for a Desktop app, but I can't seem to find a suitable way of versioning for an asp.net web application. NB I'm not sure that I have been totally clear with my question. - What I want to know is how to build and auto increment a version number for an asp.net application. - I'm not interested in how to link it with svn.
