How get client to "pick up" new MSBuild-generated files?

[rcook349]

Ok, so I'm mostly successful in using MSBuild as part of my solution to
automate:

1. Changing the connection string in my Win app
2. Using MSBuild (msbuild /t:publish) to generate the new files
3. Using XCopy to move the new folder to my web server
Two problems/questions, however:

1. How do I automatically increment the version number?
I guess I can store this in a file somewhere and add one each time but maybe
there is an easier way?

2. More importantly... how do I get this new verion "picked up".
I.e. if my users are on version 1.0.0.0 and I put a version 1.0.0.1 out
there, how do I make it so that when they launch the app it prompts them
that there are new updates?

Thanks for any help!
