I have a solution with multiple project. I am trying to optimize AssemblyInfo.cs files by linking one solution wide assembly info file. What are the best practices for doing this? Which attributes should be in solution wide file and which are project/assembly specific? Edit: If you are interested there is a follow up question What are...
I was just wondering how I could automatically increment build (and version?) of my files when using Visual Studio (2005). If I look up the properties of say C:\Windows\notepad.exe, the Version tab gives "File version: 5.1.2600.2180". I would like to get these cool numbers in the version of my dll's too, not version 1.0.0.0, which let'...
Hello, Can anyone tell me how to add an AssemblyInfo.vb file to a Web Application converted from NET2.0 to NET3.5. I'd like to add the manifest information but cannot find a way to do for the Web Application's compiled DLL. I am using Web Deployment Projects for Visual Studio 2008 if this makes a difference.

Hi, I have setup CruiseControl.net for a bunch of my projects which are related. As a result a single project tag in CruiseControl has multiple SVN checkouts and then a bunch of msbuild tasks compile all the individual sln files. I need to update the assembly version of all the solutions when this build is being done. However, since ...

I've got the following scenario: An application is built via the IDE and via a build script.

I want the binaries to have as an AssemblyFileVersion the month and day on build,...

I have a project that uses log4net and works fine on the developer machines. When we build, a step in our build scripts calls the AssemblyInfo task to set version numbers and dates, etc. But the AssemblyInfo file also loses the line: [assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)] Is there any way to have the AssemblyInfo task not overwri...
I need to display only 3 numbers for my assembly versions, to comply with our internal guidelines I tried removing the last digit from the AssemblyInfo file to look like this [assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.5.0")] [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.5.0")] And I display it like this Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToSt...
I want to remove AssemblyInfo.cpp, because of some metadata errors that sometimes come up. Is AssemblyInfo.cpp useful for anything? Or can it be removed without any problem? ...
I have a big solution with lots of projects, using VS2008 SP1, and at least once a day I encounter the LNK2022 error. If I do a full rebuild of the solution it builds fine, but this is not fun. It happens when a dependent DLL is changed 'insignificantly' (i.e. without changing any methods or classes), and the referencing project is late...
I have an automated build system using CruiseControl. I am using the SvnRevisionLabeller to to get the version string to use. With this string I can use nant to update AssemblyInfo.cs so when I build it has the correct build string. I can also use this CC label to tag the subversion repository. So everything is aligned - CCNet Build la...

So I have an ASP.NET 'Web Site' (as opposed to a Web Application) which has no AssemblyInfo.cs file or Bin folder or anything like that. I want to have a way to specify an Assembly version number (e.g. 7.0.2.0). In a Web Application you would do this in an AssemblyInfo.cs file. I've tried adding a Properties folder with an AssemblyInfo...
