Getting AssemblyVersion Regular Expression

Question

I am trying to get the version number out of the AssemblyInfo.vb file and replace it with a number that I choose.

Dim text as string = string.empty
Using sr As New StreamReader("C:\foo\AssemblyInfo.vb")
    text = sr.ReadToEnd()
    Dim fileVerReg As New Regex("^[^']*(AssemblyVersion[(""].)([^""]*)")
    Dim m As Match = fileVerReg.Match(text)
    If m.Success Then
         MsgBox(m.Groups(2).Value)
    End If
 End Using

This is just for me to try and get the version, ideally I would need to be doing a replace.

Answer 1

Try the following VS addon, Versioning Controlled Build, much better than a regex. I use it on both my development machine and my build machine (both VS 2008 currently, but used it on VS 2005 previously).
