• Visual Studio Team System Raise Version-Number of Assemblies in TeamBuild

  I am searching for a TB-Task which will scan all files of each project and see if any change has been made more recently, than to the file where the Version-Attributes are stored (usually AssemblyInfo.cs). It should then checkout AssemblyInfo.cs, raise either Major, Minor, Build, Revision (depending on a configuration value) update modified file in SCC. Does such a task exist Is there a way to do something similary for C++ unmanaged projects I would also like to determine if there is a need to increment the version number of the DLL by detecting changes since the previous build. I guess the best way is to look if there's new ...Show All
