Changing the Assembly Version using Jetbrains TeamCity

If you are using a process outside of Jetbrains TeamCity to manage your assembly version information, then you may end up using a process that leverages MSBuild to alter AssembyInfo.cs files or GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs files.

In the past, I have used MSBuild Extension Pack with the AssemblyInfo task to accomplish this: http://msbuildextensionpack.com/

However, since I am using Jetbrains TeamCity as part of my CI build processes, I can use the AssemblyInfo Patcher Build Feature instead!  https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/AssemblyInfo+Patcher

This can be done as follows:








Since this runs before the 1st build step it requires no changes to your existing build steps and configuration!

Pretty awesome, huh??
