Is there an "Autoincrement" or "Autonumber" data type in SQL SERVER 2005?

Tags: Microsoft, Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005, 2005, ASP.NET, Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 7, Autoincrement, Autonumber, SQL SERVER 2005
Greetings Experts!
I have worked with MS.ACCESS 2007 and when desigining a table I can always make a field and designate it as my Primary Key and set its data type as "Autonumber", this makes it so easy when  running Insert queries, every record will be assigned a unique Autonumber automatically.

But I can't seem to find such an option in SQL SERVER 2005, or is there a way to create a table with an Autonumber or Autoincrement field to be used as primary key??

Thanks in advance.
