I'm using a Shared file between each project (Add Existing item, and make it
a link). Then i have this in that shared file
[assembly: AssemblyVersionAttribute("2.8.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("2.8.0.0")]
...and remove the one in the AssemblyInfo.cs
Manually increment the 2.8 to 2.9 etc. the second number I've matched up to
be our Iteration/Sprint number. So 2.8 = version 2, iteration 8. The third
and fourth numbers end up auto generating based on the date and time of day.
Years ago I wrote a Nant extension which automatically checked out the file
in source control, incremented the version number depending if it was a
major or minor build, checked it in, then did the build. I was quite proud
of that. :)
