Change Assembly Version in a compiled .NET assembly

Question

Simple question... is there a way to change the Assembly Version of a compiled .NET assembly?

I\'d actually be fine with a way to change the Assembly File Version.

Answer 1

It sounds like your process is heavy because you have to update multiple AssemblyInfo files. Have you considered sharing the same AssemblyInfo file between projects? Derik Whittaker gives a good example on how to do this.

Once you have a single file, you could then go the extra distance by having a build process update your single AssemblyInfo version using MSBuild or NAnt.
