Cruisecontrol. Net 1.4.4 has now an assembly version labeller, which generates version numbers compatible with. Net Assembly properties.
In my project I have it configured:
<labeller type="assemblyVersionLabeller" incrementOnFailure="true" major="1" minor="2"/>
And then consume this from my msbuild projects with msbuildcommunitytasks. assemblyinfo:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/> <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <AssemblyInfo Condition="'$(CCNetLabel)' != ''" CodeLanguage="CS" OutputFile="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" AssemblyTitle="MyTitle" AssemblyCompany="MyCompany" AssemblyProduct="MyProduct" AssemblyCopyright="Copyright 2009" ComVisible="false" Guid="some-random-guid" AssemblyVersion="$(CCNetLabel)" AssemblyFileVersion="$(CCNetLabel)"/> </Target>
For sake of completness, it's just as easy for projects using NAnt instead of MSBuild:
<target name="setversion" description="Sets the version number to CruiseControl.Net label."> <script language="C#"> <references> <include name="System.dll" /> </references> <imports> <import namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" /> </imports> <code><![CDATA[ [TaskName("setversion-task")] public class SetVersionTask : Task { protected override void ExecuteTask() { StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(Project.Properties["filename"]); string contents = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); string replacement = "[assembly: AssemblyVersion(\"" + Project.Properties["CCNetLabel"] + "\")]"; string newText = Regex.Replace(contents, @"\[assembly: AssemblyVersion\("".*""\)\]", replacement); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(Project.Properties["filename"], false); writer.Write(newText); writer.Close(); } } ]]> </code> </script> <foreach item="File" property="filename"> <in> <items basedir=".."> <include name="**\AssemblyInfo.cs"></include> </items> </in> <do> <setversion-task /> </do> </foreach> </target>
