I have AssemblyInfo.cs file automatically generated during build. Here's part of .csproj file:
<PropertyGroup>
<Major>2</Major>
<Minor>3</Minor>
<Build>0</Build>
<Revision>0</Revision>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<SvnVersion LocalPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)" ToolPath="C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin">
<Output TaskParameter="Revision" PropertyName="Revision" />
</SvnVersion>
<AssemblyInfo CodeLanguage="CS"
OutputFile="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Properties\VersionInfo.cs"
AssemblyVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(Revision)"
AssemblyFileVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(Revision)"/>
</Target>
But I don't know how to specify Major
and Minor
properties outside .csproj file so I don't have to unload project every time I want to change version. I need either to load them from special text file inside project or to somehow set them in project properties dialog. Any suggestions?
Used ReadLinesFromFile
to make version in separate file:
<ReadLinesFromFile File="Properties\Version.txt">
<Output TaskParameter="Lines" ItemName="Ver" />
</ReadLinesFromFile>
<SvnVersion LocalPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)" ToolPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin">
<Output TaskParameter="Revision" PropertyName="Revision" />
</SvnVersion>
<Message Text="Version: @(Ver).$(Revision)" />
<AssemblyInfo
CodeLanguage="CS"
OutputFile="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Properties\VersionInfo.cs"
AssemblyVersion="@(Ver).$(Revision)"
AssemblyFileVersion="@(Ver).$(Revision)"/>
