• Visual Studio AssemblyInfoTask usage w/ Subversion problem

  I've installed AssemblyInfoTask and now have it working, however, it does not work nicely with Subversion as the configuration management tool. Subversion has a .svn folder along with sub-folders that control the AssemblyInfo.cs file. There are several filenames that begin with the AssemblyInfo.cs* stem name. AssemblyInfoTask seems to recurse through the .svn area and generate build error because it does not find what it expects. Is there a w ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Practical questions
