How to create a "build number"?

[TWagner]

In many professional software one finds a "build number" which identifies the release version of a program. My questions regarding this number are:
- How do these numbers work? These build numbers look like 6.05.1043 or something like that.
- How could I probably use such a number in my program in such a way, that e.g. the build number is automatically displayed in the main panel's title bar? This would allow to easily distinguish between different releases of the program. It would mean that LabWindows would be somehow able to create such a build number and would automatically increase this number after each compiler run and makes it accessible to the program.

Thanks

Sorry for posting my question 3 times: the browser told me the first two times, it tried to send my question, that it could not transmit it.
