Hi you can use the CCNetLabel, it is passed via the integration properties. http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/MsBuild+Task
So the build number generated by CCNet will be passed to msbuild, and msbuild can create an assembly info . with kind regards Ruben Willems On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 5:18 PM, Scott Vickery <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey folks, another hopefully quick question. > > I am successfully calling MSbuild from CC.NEt to build my solution. > MSbuild is building a version string that looks something like <hard code > major version>.<hard code minor version>.<build date>.<subversion revision > number> and writing it out to a shared AssemblyInfo.cs.
