Version Changer for VS 2019

Version Changer is a Visual Studio extension that makes it simple to change the version numbers of all the projects in a solution.

Version Changer will detect what type of project it is and update it accordingly, using AssemeblyInfo in old csproj projects for example but <version> in new style csproj projects.

It can also update Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS projects.

Version changer can update the following values:

Version (AssemblyVersion)
File Version (AsemblyFileVersion)
InformationalVersion (AssemblyInformationalVersion)
PackageVersion
Click once version
Android manifiest versions
iOS and Mac info.plist versions
package.appxmanifest versions
More comming soon...

It will work with at least the following project types

Full .Net projects (C# and VB.Net) Class library, Web, WPF, UWP etc
.Net Core and .NET 5.x+
.Net standard
PCL

Version control is available from the tools menu - Tools > Version Changer
