.NET Core App - How to get build number at runtime

Question

I\'ve got a .NET Core MVC app which is built using TFS online, and published to Azure using the Release management stuff in TFS online. All very nice.

Answer 1

There is an easier way than adding more plugins and libraries. If you are using the web/app deploy method, expand the File Transforms & Variables

Assuming you want to update say a build number value in your appsettings.json

Then just update the variables setting in your release definition of VSTS

Super easy. This is more or less the same steps in Octopus IIRC.
