I have a C++ dll and I would like to get the compilor to auto generate a
version number of the dll that it create just like the C# compiler does.
Now I set a number in a .rc file but it would be nice if I could just set
the first 2 number and the compiler could then add the rest like 2.1.3543

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I use VS2008

The C++ compiler doesn't know anything about version numbering in .rc. You
should use some IDE add-ins/macros like:
