Visual Studio Versioning

Question

We have a solution with multiple projects that all spit out exe files. We have a shared VersionAssemblyInfo.cs that has the following...

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.5.*")]

This works fine and all exe's are versioned with the correct major, minor and build number. However the Revision is always different. Now i understand why this is, but is there a way to get the final revision to always be the same if the solution is built in one go? I would still like to take advantage of the automatic incrementation. So i don't really want to have to hardcode it and change it all the time.

Answer 1

To keep the final revision stay the same, you just need to set clean build as false in Get sources build step and queue the build with private agent .

Then the revision always with the same value for different times of build.
