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 as:
<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();
}
}
