Comments on: Automatic Assembly Version Number http://blog.nicocrm.com/2008/08/06/automatic-assembly-version-number/ Programming, technology, and CRM - from a Belgian programmer exiled to Missouri Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:39:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Nicolas Galler http://blog.nicocrm.com/2008/08/06/automatic-assembly-version-number/comment-page-1/#comment-178 Nicolas Galler Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:19:53 +0000 http://blog.chivinou.net/2008/08/06/automatic-assembly-version-number/#comment-178 Good question - it is not possible at this time to edit it from within Visual Studio. I'd like to be able to edit it in the VersionInfo.cs file and have the task read it back and detect that it was specified but right now it just does an overwrite and does not attempt to parse the content of the file. You can override the Major and Minor version numbers but it requires an edit to the .csproj file (adding the MajorNumber/MinorNumber properties under the PropertyGroup), and a fix to the AssemblyVersion.target that I initially provided (adding a condition on the properties) so that it lets the numbers through instead of overwriting them. I will update the blog article to reflect this. Thank you! Good question – it is not possible at this time to edit it from within Visual Studio.

(ideally from within VS2008) My version at the moment is always 1.0.SVN.0, i like to increment build and minor?
