How to create an auto-incrementing non-key field

I have a field on an entity that needs to be an auto-incrementing integer but is not the entity key (I use guids for that).

How do I decorate the field to make it an auto-incrementing id?

public class Foo {
    public Guid Id {get; private set;} = Guid.NewGuid();
    public int ShouldAutoIncrement {get; private set;}
}
