You can use my trick:
The technique consists of:
1. A plain text file that holds nothing but a version number
AA.BB.CC.DD (version.txt)
2. A small C# utility that increments one of the components
in the file (NewBuild.exe)
3. A small C# utility that replaces
AssemblyVersion(...) in all AssemblyInfo.cs files in your project
(ReplaceVersion.exe)
4. A few NAnt targets to automate the above
(sample.build)
I keep binaries of NewBuild.exe and ReplaceVersion.exe in
CVS as they are ultra-small (4KB each). Plus, they are portable because they
are CLI executables.
You can invoke the targets:
nant updateversion
which update all AssemblyInfo.cs files according to
"version.txt" contents.
nant newbuild
which will increase the fourth component of "version.txt"
and update all AssemblyInfo.cs files
nant newrevision
which will increase the third and fourth component of
"version.txt" and update all AssemblyInfo.cs files
nant newminor
which will increase the second and fourth component of
"version.txt", zero the third one and update all AssemblyInfo.cs
files
nant newmajor
which will increase the first and fourth component of
"version.txt", zero the second and third one and update all AssemblyInfo.cs
files

P.S. Because I keep my "version.txt" as plain as
possible, I am even able to parse individual components from my nant
buildfile. I can simply use <foreach> with the delimiter set to a dot
and because there's only one line - foreach iterates just one
time.

Subject: [Nant-users] How do one update
the AssemblyVersion build number?
Greeting,
My apologies in advance if
the following questions have been asked before. But, does anyone
know how to increase the AssemblyVersion build number everytime it
builds? Does NAnt has any task to take care of
this?
Example:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("2003.1.0.0")]
The number I want to increase
is the 3rd digit in the AssemblyVersion. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
