Update Changed Assembly Version Number TFS Build

Question

I'd like to be able to automatically update the assembly version off all changed projects on a TFS check-in. We'd like to do this as part of our gated check-in so that developers don't have to remember to manually update those numbers on every check-in.

My current approach would be to:

1. Determine what projects contains changes on check-in
2. Check out the AssemblyInfo.cs in each project with changes
3. Increment the version number in each AssemblyInfo.cs file
4. Begin build process

I assume there is a way to accomplish this using a combination of PowerShell and customizing the TFS build template, but have little familiarity with either. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Use the script located here as a pre-build script in your build template.

The script will change all AssemblyInfo.cs files that are found with the build number.
