In the other hand, I would like to specify those numbers automatically during the build process. Moreover it would be great to have an ability to change the whole version number or just increase the latest part of it (build number). Of course, you may say that such an operation can simply be done manually. It is true for one or two assemblies. But our usual project contains about 10-15 different assemblies and we would like to have a version number in all of them synchronized.
