MSBuild.AssemblyVersion

MSBuild targets for updating Assembly version during build process. AssemblyInfo can be set by initializing MSBuild property $(AssemblyVersionNumber) before MSBuild target AssemblyVersionUpdate is called.

Examples

  1. Initialize property $(AssemblyVersionNumber) from command line:

    msbuild.exe MySolution.sln /p:AssemblyVersionNumber=1.2.3.4

  2. Initialize or update property $(AssemblyVersionNumber) declaratively in MSBuild project or a referenced .props file:

    <PropertyGroup>
    <AssemblyVersionNumber>1.2.3.4</AssemblyVersionNumber>
</PropertyGroup>

  3. Update property $(AssemblyVersionNumber) in a custom target:

    <Target Name="MyCustomUpdateAssemblyVersionNumber"
        BeforeTargets="AssemblyVersionUpdate">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <AssemblyVersionNumber>1.2.3.4</AssemblyVersionNumber>
     </PropertyGroup>
</Target>
