Assembly versioning

[=?Utf-8?B?TWFyaw==?=]

Hi...

As part of our automated build process, we'd like to put the subversion
revision in the rev part of the assembly version. How would someone get a
value determined at compile time into the assembly build? I've googled
around a bit on the subject and I found one reference to a little app that
manually rewrites AssemblyInfo.cs in a pre-process, and another where one
plugs their own class into the project build to manage the IncrementRevision
function.

What's the best way?

Thanks

Have a look at the MSBuildCommunity task called AssemblyInfo, this
writes an AssemblyInfo.cs file (http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/).

I use it to write a GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs file, that is included
(referenced) in all projects. This only contains the version info, but
still all projects have their individual AssemblyInfo.cs file and have
the option to define assembly related informations.
